There are two types of zooms used with digital cameras: optical and digital. Optical Zoom An optical zoom changes magnification by moving glass in the lens, changing the image falling on the sensor. Using an optical zoom maintains picture quality. Zoom Ranges and 35mm Equivalents Optical zoom lenses usually have a specification called "equivalent in 35mm." This tells you the zoom range of the digital camera compared to a 35mm film camera. Typical 35mm equivalent zoom ranges you will see listed are 35mm-70mm or 35mm-105mm. For example: Wide-angle means a lens takes in more than normal viewing perspective. Telephoto lenses magnify the subject, bring it closer. Using these numbers as a guide, you can...

When you finally set out to select your Surveillance Camera, for realizing your well thought out Home Security project, you should be advised that, besides other elements equally important, the lens plays a determining part in the camera performance.

Creative photography can be quite taxing. The shots taken in this form of photography are always very unorthodox and require lenses that can capture the objects in different ways. These shots have to compel the viewers in such a way that they invariably look very creative. Wide angle lenses prove to be very effective while taking such shots and suffice as the most idyllic lenses while engaging oneself in creative photography. The actual object becomes quite wide through the lenses and the photographer is able to capture the object from complex angles. Brands like Nikon are famous manufacturers of the wide angle lens and lenses like the Nikon telephoto Lens can be hired at affordable Nikon Lens...

You may want to add to your existing lens kit some time; following are lens definitions and major options to consider when researching. Telephoto Lenses (200m, 500mm, 1000mm) Telephoto lenses or long focus lenses produce larger images of distant subjects than shorter focal length lenses or normal lenses. They require extra extension to place them further from the film plane. The greater the extension or focal length of the lens the greater the magnification. This extension presents no problem with a stand camera but does with portable or hand held cameras. The lenses are long and bulky, they are...

That way you aren't paying more money for a lens you won't use. Picking the right lens for you is going to depend greatly on the type of...

Good knowledge of Digital SLR lens is one sure way of ensuring that you get the best shots regardless of whether there is sufficient light or not. It ensures that image quality is per the standards. This tutorial is premised on ensuring that one gets a thorough understanding of image quality, perspective, focal length, aperture of f-stops and the difference between zoom and prime lenses. Digital SLR cameras have lenses whose main aim is to direct light rays so that the image is recreated as lucidly as possible on the digital sensor. The main reason for this is to avoid aberrations that occur when image points fail to translate back after they have passed through the lens. This is why the image comes...

albums are often bloated with theatricals. The colours become too bright and at times one gets a feeling as if caricatures have been placed in the album rather wedding pictures. Giving these pictures a delicate shade becomes very artistic and also appealing to the eyes. While most of the wedding pictures are shot in colour these days, bringing back the vintage art of black and white photographs and mixing them up with their coloured counterparts to create an album becomes a very endearing measure. But for these special lenses are required. These lenses cannot be always bought or invested in. Canon is one of the many camera makers that produce such lenses. The Canon Telephoto Lens is basically...

The digital camera you use to click pictures should be a special one. If that is not the case, then you need to revisit your options. The digital camera you use should be known to you well. It should come to you as second nature. This is because for not every fault that arises in the camera would you feel like taking it to the nearest service centre. You need to train yourself in understanding several intricacies and connotations about the camera that would render you a competitive advantage and would also give you the liberty to experiment with the camera. Doing this would ensure that you are never at a loss of ideas when you have the camera with you and know how to operate it well. Whether you...

In the current technological days, it is hard to go completely wrong when buying a digital camera. The quality is constantly improving, and the prices are coming down. All the major manufacturers are making good cameras. It is entirely possible to buy a good point and shoot for less than two hundred dollars. Also, you can spend as little as hundred dollars and get a decent camera. Obviously, the more you spend, the more features and performance you get. My friends are always asking me for advice about what kind of digital camera to buy. At this point, the internet would help them by reading reviews on digital cameras. They are normal people, not photographers or techies, and they just want a...

Canon and the other camera manufacturers have promoted their cameras with an all purpose lens called a "kit lens." The Canon kit lens is a zoom lens with 18-55mm capabilities. That means that you can take wide angle photos at 18mm and telephoto shots up to 55mm. If you are coming from a compact point and shoot camera, it is roughly equivalent to a camera with 3x zoom. The Canon kit lens also has IS which stands for image stabilization. This is a very nice feature to have because the Canon DSLR cameras do not have any image stabilization built into their camera bodies. The kit lens will give you decent pictures. The problems with buying the kit lens are these: 1. The lens is manufactured out of...

You don't necessarily have to have the best professional photography equipment to make the best photographs. The most important thing you can have is the eye that helps you to produce emotionally charged images that people remember. Some photographers own the best cameras money can buy but their images are boring while others use a point and shoot camera and get phenomenal results. However, professional photographers do need equipment they can rely on. In fact, most professionals have an extra camera body or two as well as back up lenses with them whenever they have a shoot. As a professional photographer you probably invest more money into higher quality lenses as well as high end camera that you...

Depth of field is a photographic term that describes the area in a photograph that is in sharp focus. Although only a single plane in an image can be in true focus, various lenses and certain lens setting can create the appearance of a much wider area of focus. You can alter DOF by changing the aperture of the lens, the focal length of the lens or the distance to the subject. A more academic approach to DOF would include discussion of things like circle of confusion and hyperfocal distance. For all practical purposes, however, you don't have to know about these advanced topics to include DOF effects in your photos. There is no "good" or "bad" depth of field. Depending on your subject and your...

What lens should I choose for nature and landscape photography? Quite often when you buy your first SLR (single lens reflex) camera, it will come bundled with a lens. Some stores are flexible and will let you choose a different lens (with varying cost) to take with your camera body. The lens is just as important as the body you choose, and will determine the quality of your images. The aperture of the lens is important, but in terms of choosing a lens, the lower the number, represents how wide the lens can open, and how fast it can work. This is because the wider a lens can open, the more light can be let in and the faster an image can be taken. The aperture is represented by 'f.' and the lower the...

Interested in expanding your camera kit with an extra lens or two? Not sure about lens design and terminology associated with SLR lenses? Here is some information that may help in making that important decision. Good lenses are expensive and you need to get the optimum value for your purchase. Types of Lenses There are many types of lenses on the market today, too many to cover in detail here, but here are the most common types you will come across in your pursuit. Prime or Zoom? The first consideration is to decide whether you want a zoom lens or a prime lens. A zoom lens has variable focal length so it can function as several lenses in one package. A prime lens is fixed in focal length, so it is...

A shot of a bird in flight has always been a challenge to photographers. Seeing a perfect print image only serves to make them eager to create the same result. Photographing a bird in flight presents one problem, but capturing that one special bird-in-flight shot that's in focus and has good composition plus good light can represent a whole set of problems. Everyone has his share of good flight shots where the bird may be just a tiny bit soft. Those are easy. But, how do you get a great flight shot? The camera technology of the last several years has made flight photography easier than it was before, but there are still lots of variables that need to be added to the equation to make good bird-in...

Are you looking for just such a lens for your digital SLR camera? Sigma has a lens that will step up to the plate for almost any situation. It is the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF Lens. And it is manufactured for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony DSLRs. This beauty has been attached to my Canon 30D almost constantly since I purchased the lens. I have been extremely happy with the images it has produced. I have always been a fan of getting a better lens than the kit lens that comes with a DSLR because the kit lenses have been rated as lower quality than some of the other lenses that are available. I also prefer a wider focal range than what the kit lens offers. I will admit that the kit lenses...

Leica shift lens This is a high-quality wide-angle lens with the ability to shift the image circle up, down, or across the centre of the film format in order to reduce, say, the foreground without having to tilt the camera. Shift views With the camera held level, too much foreground is visible. But with the lens shifted up, you can preserve the verticals while reducing the amount of foreground, and so allow more of the building to be seen. Canon 50mm A shorter focal length macro lens allows you to work dose to the subject -useful when used in conjunction with a copy stand. Tamron 90mm A compact, relatively inexpensive optic of legendary performance: this lens focuses to life-size easily and provides...

At some point all beginning photographers are confronted with certain technical aspects of photography that have them either burning up rolls of film, or loading up memory cards! Two in particular: Exposure (which will be addressed in a different article) and Depth of Field (or DOF) leave the newly shutterbug bitten novice shaking their head, wondering what they are doing wrong. When I first started taking on an informal teaching role with beginning photographers it was interesting that the single most common question asked by them was: "How do I make the background blurry and my subject sharp?" and of course, "what do I need to do when I want everything in focus?" It's inevitable. If you desire to...

Buying digital camcorders and digital camera lenses in online shops is 30% cheaper than buying from an accredited store in malls. So far, I have not encountered any problems with my orders and they always arrive in mint condition. Recently, I have discovered a gem of an online store - au. Topbuy is Australia’s leading online retailer when it comes to providing customers with high quality and brand name products at unbeatable prices. They have a wide selection of Canon Digital Cameras, Nikon Digital Cameras, Olympus Digital Cameras, and Sony digital cameras at bargain prices. I personally prefer Canon digital cameras as they work well with available light. I found the latest model Canon EOS 7D...

Photography enthusiasts, or the photographers themselves have initially sought for the guidance provided in various digital photography guides. In most of today's most salable photography guides, the Nikon 55-200 mm is one of the highly recommended digital camera lenses. The Nikon 55-200 mm is actually a telephoto zoom that is suitable for all Nikon DSLR's as long as they are in DX format. It was launched back in 2007 with another world-famous Nikon product, the D40x. Actually, the main reason that Nikon came up with the 55-200 mm lens is to enhance the standards of the DX 18-55 mm kit lens. Aside from that, it was also purposely designed to stretch the highest possible equivalent coverage of any...

Canon EF-S 18-55 mm provides its photographers with the image they have envisioned, even if it does not have the other features that other digital camera lenses have. This also means that the price associated with this particular lens is fairly cheap. However, its price has absolutely no effect on its quality as Canon EF-S 18-55 mm is still able to deliver images of the greatest quality. However, a part where Canon EF-S 18-55 mm falls quite short is that it cannot shoot when in motion clearly. By "in motion", the entity moving can either be the focus of the image or the photographer. Although this is not an impossible task for photographers, they would have to prepare a lot of things before they are...

I'd only been sat outside the church at Althorp House for about ten minutes when, out of nowhere, several big, serious men appeared, apparently talking to their lapels. One took-up station by the gate to the churchyard peering intently into middle-distance, another hung-back looking towards where they had come from and the last, biggest and most serious made a bee-line for me. What was going on? I got out of my car and started to walk towards the big one, then, behind him, I caught sight of three other people, two of whom were women. This church had suddenly become very busy I thought. Then it dawned on me - the men were police on royal protection duties, the three others were Earl Charles Spencer...

Some DSLR cameras now offer multiple exposure modes. These include the Nikon D3, D300, D2H, D2x, D200, and D80, the Pentax K10D, and *istD, Pentax Optio 550, and the Fujifilm Fine Pix S5, S3, S2, and S1. This may not be a complete list so check your camera manual to see if your camera has this option. While you can combine multiple captures using layers in Photoshop and other imaging software, there a several advantages to being able to combine exposures in camera as you are able to do with film. The Nikon D300 uses raw data from the camera's sensor and can combine the information/data from up to 10 exposures into one file. This eliminates the need to work with the layer opacity and blending mode of...
