A Beginner's Guide to Picking a Wide Angle Lens
Manage episode 405465092 series 3556599
The wide angle lens is a thing of beauty--it's probably the most crucial piece of any photographer's gear bag. They're a must for landscape photography, but also really excellent at travel and cultural photography, and even wildlife photography if you get the right one. Plus, they give you a lot of bang for your buck and are often a beginner photographer's first entry into high quality lenses due to relative affordability.
In this episode I dive into everything that makes up this category of lens, including zoom range and ideal focal lengths, aperture ratings, overall quality, focus motor, image stabilization, and even prime lenses and ultrawides.
If you're thinking about upgrading or simply wanting to know more about the abilities and flexibility you have with your wide angle lens, this is a packed episode full of photography goodness.
