Understand the anatomy of the camera lens

If you get the knack of how a camera lens works then it could help you click some really nice pictures.

A camera lens with a variable focal length is known as a zoom lens. Letting you take advantage of focal lengths of numerous prime lenses without ever having to switch, a zoom lens allows you to zoom in and out. The very purpose of such lenses is to let you zoom from the longest angle to the widest, stopping at any point you desire.

Types of Zoom Lenses:

Ranging from general-purpose to specific, there are four main types of zoom lenses available. Below mentioned are different focal lengths featured by a crop sensor-

  • Standard Zoom- Falling in the range of 18-55mm, this is mostly found on kit lenses. A solid all-rounder, it is ideal for medium-wide to medium telephotos.
  • Super Zoom-Your best travel companion, a superzoom falls in the range of 18-200 mm. Replacing the need for multiple lenses quite aptly, it’s best suited for medium-wide to telephoto.
  • Wide Zoom- This one is a perfect pick if you are on a photography training course, a wide-angle zoom goes from ultra-wide to medium-wide. It falls in the range of 10-20 mm.
  • Telephoto Zoom- Longer in length, telephoto zoom falls in the range of 100-400mm. It is a safe bet for both wildlife and sports photography.                                                          

Give yourself time to settle in

For a first-time photographer, clicking pictures can be an overwhelming experience. Hence picking an ideal spot and surveying the area before the shoot is a good idea. Take as much time as you want to let the creativity flow and start clicking when you feel you are ready. The first few pictures may not be up to the mark so to say, however, once you settle in, you will get better at composition and camera handling producing better images.  

Try to get rid of the clutter

When you are at a beach, for instance, you would automatically ignore the pile of rubbish and focus on the beautiful seascape. Translate the same scene into a photograph. It will help keep the subject in focus and avoid distractions. Keep yourself prepared to capture the beautiful scenes, one at a time. Paying special attention to eliminate the unwanted elements shall work wonders. 

These tips should bring out a significant improvement in your pictures and help gain insight into the art of photography. You can also check out the photography webinars conducted by Canon India on their website for beginners as well as seasoned photographers.
