Both are great lenses, super-versatile for portraiture. You can get close to your model and fill the frame with her face, or stand further back and fit her entire body within the frame. Even at the distance required for this, you are still close enough to talk to your model and direct her. Short telephotos help bring a sense of intimacy to your portraits that is harder to obtain with longer focal lengths. I made this one using a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera.
A technique you can try when making portraits with short telephoto lenses is to find something to shoot through , such as grass, flowers or the leaves of a tree, while using a wide aperture to throw it out of focus.
Use them either with extension tubes , or a close-up lens that screws onto the front of the lens like a filter. Both tools reduce the minimum focusing distance of your lens and let you take interesting close-up photos of subjects like flowers. The telephoto effect these lenses have make objects, that may actually have quite a lot of distance between them, appear as if they're sat close together.
The longer your focal length, the more obvious the effect will be. It's useful when you have a city skyline or mountains in the background which will give you a more interesting and pleasing shot if they're pulled a little closer to the object closer to your lens e. When you want to exclude some part of what's in your frame e. It'll also pull a distant subject closer to you, which means you can get frame-filling shots of shy wildlife or of a particular aspect of the landscape that's too far for you to get to.
If you want to draw attention to a particular aspect that would be lost if shot with a wider focal length, use a telephoto lens to isolate your subject. You can do this with shorter focal lengths, but the longer reach of a telephoto means you can isolate a subject that's some distance away from where you're shooting from.
As a telephoto lens closes the distance between you and whatever you're photographing, it's an ideal lens for photographing wildlife. With a telephoto lens you'll be able to take shots that look like you were just a few steps away from your subject when really you were some distance away.
This distance means your subject won't be scared off and if you're shooting what could be considered as a dangerous animal, the distance makes it safer for you.
Your shots won't be as good as those who use telescopes, but you can still get excellent shots of the moon with a long telephoto lens. You can even take a number of shots, and combine multiple shots to produce a sharper image. Shooting head or head and shoulder shots with a longer focal length can give a better perspective and allows for a tighter crop when working further away from your subject.
This distance also means you don't have to work too close to your subject and as a result, they'll be more comfortable, and you'll have more natural-looking portraits. The 2. This literally makes the subject the focus of the photo versus kit lenses with smaller aperture settings that keep a lot more of the background in focus than not. The larger aperture of a telephoto lens also allows more light to come through, which is beneficial in natural, low light scenarios.
Also, being able to zoom in provides a much more comfortable working distance when you are shooting portraits of someone. That said, your opinion on spatial distance depends on what kind of photographer you want to be. Some photographers really enjoy working up close with their subjects while others prefer some extra space. Keep in mind, if you are in a travel photography scenario and you want to be more stealth, you can use the telephoto to capture a moment from farther away without interrupting what is going on.
It can be harder to get away with this with a shorter focal length lens because you'll actually have to get closer. This use is especially common in portrait photography. The way to achieve this look is to shoot with a long lens and the widest aperture available. Not only will angle of view be dramatically different on a telephoto lens but the quality of bokeh will be stronger compared to a wide angle, even when shooting that wide angle at a very wide aperture.
Generally speaking, the longer the lens and the wider the aperture, the more of this effect you get. This actually has very little to do with the lens itself and everything to do with the distance from which you shoot your subject. Longer lenses allow you to shoot your subjects from farther away, thus perceptually shrinking the subject in the foreground while the background stays the same size.
One of the benefits of telephoto lenses for portrait work is that these lenses often have the effect of creating very flattering portraits of people.
The distance between the camera and the subject impacts how close objects will appear in the frame and how they will look in comparison to each other. Anything wider than 50mm will run the risk of distorting features of your subject. Portrait photographers often have a preferred length for different kinds of faces.
As you shoot at longer focal lengths, the subject that is in the foreground of the frame will appear to get smaller relative to what is happening in the background. This effect can also make facial features appear to be more proportional. Add to that the beautiful bokeh from shooting with a long lens and you have a great tool for portrait photography.
When it comes to deciding which focal length is best for you, it will depend largely on how you plan to use it. This is an ideal telephoto focal range for portrait and wedding work. These prime lenses are very popular among portrait photographers because they produce beautifully blurred backgrounds and a compression illusion that is flattering to your subject while still letting you work relatively close to them.
The benefit of an 85mm prime over a mm zoom is that typically the prime will allow you to shoot at a wider aperture, which is better for low light situations. Primes also tend to be sharper and lighter than zoom lenses. These lenses are just a bit longer on the short end but give you a lot more reach for things that are farther away. Some people, therefore, choose to use these lenses only in well-lit environments. These lenses are great for shooting subjects that are far away but have a tendency to move around a lot.
Zoom lenses in this focal range give you a lot of flexibility. This lens gives you a little more reach than the 85mm, better compression illusions, and even more magnificent bokeh. These lenses are really good for making subjects appear closer together in a photo.
If you want to take a portrait that clearly shows the size of whatever is in the background for example, a subject in front of a cityscape , this is a great choice. These lenses are ideal for professional sports and wildlife photographers who like to shoot subjects that are very far away with very wide apertures. The images these lenses can capture and the effects they create can be stunning!
