So today, I’m going to take a critical guess of camera lenses used In the shooting of this amazing images that were shot by my lecturer, Nana Resh. But before I go into that, I’ll like to talk about what a camera lens is and types of the lenses.
A lens is a tool used to bring light to a fixed focal point. Camera lenses are made up of series of glass plates that are convex or concave. A camera without a lens is useless to a photographer. If you remove the lens from your camera, the only type of image produce is just white light. Even with a cheap camera, one can capture great images if the lens of the camera is high – quality. There are 6 types of camera lenses namely;
• Fish eye (ultra-wide) : They are used for panoramic shots, cityscapes, landscapes, real estate and abstracts photography. It’s focal length is 8- 24mm.
• Wide angle: They are used for landscapes, interiors, architecture, forest photography. It lens ranges from 14mm – 35mm.
• Standard Prime: They are used for portraits, weddings, street or documentary photography. The standard prime lenses ranges are 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm.
• Zoom: They are used for portraits, weddings, wildlife photography. Types of zoom lenses are 17-40mm, 24-105mm, 70-200mm.
• Macro: They are used for extreme close-ups. The macro lenses focal lengths ranges from 50- 200mm. They are also used for ultra detailed photography.
• Telephoto: They are good for photographing nature and wildlife and also for astronomy shots and spots events like Surfing and football games. Types of lenses are 70-300mm, 100-400mm, 300mm, 400mm, 600mm.
Now I’ll begin.
This picture right here was shot with a Macro lens. Considering how detailed the image is.
Hmm. Macro lens definitely.
This was shot with a standard prime lens. Portrait image of a lady.
This Image was shot with a telephoto lens. Haha.
This was definitely shot with a zoom lens.
This has me torn between choosing standard prime and telephoto. But I will go for Telephoto lens.
This image was shot with a fish eye lens. This i am so sure of.
This image right here is very amazing. But it has me confused which kind of lens was used here. For some reason I think it was shot with a standard prime lens.
Macro lens for sure.
