20 Facts about lenses
- Lenses help capture light and focus it on the camera’s sensor.
- The focal length decides how zoomed in or out your photo is.
- Wide-angle lenses are great for landscapes or fitting everything in a small space.
- Telephoto lenses let you zoom in from far away—perfect for sports or wildlife.
- A prime lens has a fixed focal length, meaning no zooming, but they’re often sharper.
- Zoom lenses let you change the focal length to zoom in or out.
- Aperture controls how much light comes in and how blurry the background is.
- A wide aperture (like f/1.8) lets in lots of light and makes the background blurry.
- The bigger the aperture, the blurrier the background (called bokeh).
- Lenses come with different mounts, so make sure they fit your camera.
- Some lenses have image stabilization to help reduce blurry photos from shaking.
- Lenses can have distortions, like straight lines looking curved.
- Macro lenses are for taking close-up shots of tiny things like flowers or insects.
- Fish-eye lenses create a round, wide view of 180 degrees.
- Long lenses (like 200mm) zoom in on distant subjects, but they’re heavy.
- Weather-sealed lenses are made to resist rain or snow.
- Tilt-shift lenses help with perspective, making things look miniature or fixing building lines.
- A wide aperture is great for low light and making the background blurry.
- Lenses are sharpest around f/8 to f/11, called the “sweet spot.”
- Lenses can be expensive, but a good one can really improve your photos.
Multi Exposure
To get the results I needed for this multiple exposure shot, I carefully followed the instructions that were given to me through the blog and focused on one subject. Then I imported the images into Photoshop, where I edited them. Afterwards I inserted it into the blog and posted my photo back into the post and typed out this paragraph.
File Formats
- JPEG: Uses lossy compression to reduce file size at the expense of image quality, ideal for everyday use.
- HEIF: Offers smaller file sizes with better quality than JPEG, but with limited compatibility across devices and platforms.
- TIFF: An uncompressed format that retains maximum image quality, great for printing and detailed editing but large in size.
- RAW: Stores all camera data for maximum post-processing flexibility, typically large and requires special software to open.
- DNG: A standardized version of RAW that ensures better long-term accessibility and file management.
- PNG: Uses lossless compression and supports transparency, often used for web images and graphics.
- GIF: Supports simple animations and limited color palettes, popular for small images and simple animations on the web.
- BMP: A large, uncompressed format primarily used in Windows environments.
- PSD: Adobe Photoshop’s native format, preserving layers and editing features for post-processing work.

HDR SHOOTING
FILL FLASH OUTSIDE
10 things I learnt about flash 1. Flash provides additional light to illuminate your subject 2. There are mainly two types of flash 3. If you shoot too fast, the flash won’t sync properly, and parts of your image may appear dark. 4. freeze fast motion is ideal for action or sports photography. 5. It’s useful for making your subject brighter or darker.
Shoot like Aaron Siskind
This photo taken by Aaron Siskind is filled with a lot of texture and detail and is honestly speaking, super dramatic. I really do enjoy his style and artistic choices and honestly could see him influencing my own style.
