6 Benefits Of 50 Mm Lens

The 50 mm lens or the Nifty fifty is one of the most popular camera lenses in the market. The lens is preferred by many photographers due to its many benefits:

Ideal For Low Photography

The 50 mm lens is a prime lens thus it takes professional-quality photos. It has a wide aperture of f1.8 which allows more light to enter through the lens opening. The large aperture gives you the freedom of using faster shutter speed in order to avoid camera shake.

You can also use slower shutter speed and lock out noises you get from higher shutter speeds. If you are experienced, you can use both the faster and slower speeds.

Light Weight

Depending on the brand, a 50 mm lens weighs between 4.3 oz to 6 oz. This means that there's no reason why you should leave the lens at home. If you are not in the mood of carrying a whole bag of stuff around, you only need to take your camera and the lens and you will be good to go.

Cheap

Lenses from the most popular brands go at a price range of $100-200. This price is too low compared to the quality of images taken. According to expert photographers, the quality of an image taken by the nifty fifty lens is almost the same as that taken by a $600 lens.

Super Sharpness

Since this lens is a fixed lens, you are able to take sharper images as there are less moving parts inside the lens. There are also less lens elements to give you blurred images. The large aperture in the lens greatly contributes in giving you sharper images.

Versatility

Since the lens is neither too wide nor too long, you can use it on a wide range of environments. For example, you can use it on the streets. You can also use it to take portraits. To take portraits, you only need to put the lens on an APS-C sensor.

Normal

The lens is categorised as a normal or standard lens. This means that the lens mimics the human eye. Due to this feature, the lens gives a natural look to the images that you take. This feature is also great for beginners as they won't feel as if they are looking through a lens.

Conclusion

These are some of the benefits of a 50 mm lens. Regardless of the brand that you are buying, always ensure that you buy from a reputable store.

Travel Photography: Myanmar

Image
With tourism in Myanmar in its infancy route options are still rather limited. Most visitors will find themselves choosing from Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon), Mandalay, Bagan (the plain with all the temples) and Inle Lake (where the men row with one leg to keep their hands free for casting their fishing nets). This is not a problem for first time visitors at all, with plenty to choose from in the vicinity of each of these destinations. The best season for a visit is during the cooler winter months, specifically November through February. The wet season starts in late May, peaks in August and ends as late as October. Not only is it hot and humid; rains are often heavy enough to disrupt travel so this is not a good time for photographers with limited time. Of course, if you are able to take a more relaxed approach you will find the place pretty much to yourself and could get some very dramatic shots indeed. When finalising your dates it is well worth looking to include

Baby photography is gaining popularity these days because a lot of parents want to capture images of their children in their complete innocence. Infancy is a stage in life when you do not care of what they are wearing as long as they are comfortable with it. And since parents know that this stage won't last very long and that children today grow up very fast, they book for baby photography sessions. For them, this is a great way to have something that will remind them of this lovely and charming time. Be reminded that themed baby photographs are not easy to create.

Thus, you have to choose a baby photographer who is experienced. Must-Have Capabilities Of The Best Baby Photographer G
