Lens Choice: Focal lengths, Style, and Why
Lens choice can dramatically affect the look of your subject matter and a skillset often over looked or underestimated by aspiring photographers. We’ll delve into different types of lenses, their functions, and overall style they can achieve across a variety of subject matter. We will also discuss when you would choose one lens over another, different shooting techniques, and desired outcomes. All skill levels are welcome.
