WEBVTT 00:08.040 --> 00:11.800 If you're new to removable lenses , you 00:11.800 --> 00:13.856 may be unsure which one to take on a 00:13.856 --> 00:15.856 shoot . Today , we're gonna look at 00:15.856 --> 00:18.022 four types of lenses and compare their 00:18.022 --> 00:20.022 photos to help you choose the right 00:20.022 --> 00:21.578 lens to enhance your visual 00:21.578 --> 00:24.630 storytelling . Here we have the normal 00:24.640 --> 00:28.550 wide telephoto and zoom lenses each 00:28.550 --> 00:30.217 have their own advantages and 00:30.217 --> 00:33.790 disadvantages at a shoot 1st . Let's 00:33.790 --> 00:36.000 start with the normal lens . This is 00:36.000 --> 00:38.470 the smallest lens . It's limited in how 00:38.470 --> 00:40.940 much it can be zoomed in or out . It 00:40.940 --> 00:43.060 takes photos similar to what you see 00:43.070 --> 00:45.440 with the human eye . Here's a photo 00:45.440 --> 00:47.980 taken with this lens as you can see the 00:47.980 --> 00:50.220 model in the background are in focus 00:50.230 --> 00:53.800 because this lens range is so small , 00:53.810 --> 00:56.032 you're limited to how much you can zoom 00:56.032 --> 00:58.950 in without moving the camera . This can 00:58.950 --> 01:01.117 be a disadvantage for shoots where you 01:01.117 --> 01:03.450 are unable to get close to your subject . 01:03.450 --> 01:05.394 However , this is an advantage and 01:05.394 --> 01:07.617 investigative photography because there 01:07.617 --> 01:09.339 is less risk of distorting the 01:09.339 --> 01:11.506 perception of an image . These are the 01:11.506 --> 01:13.750 wide angle lenses Depending on the type 01:13.750 --> 01:17.020 of lens you can get between 63 and 01:17.020 --> 01:20.040 180° views . These are useful if 01:20.040 --> 01:22.207 you're working in a small room or need 01:22.207 --> 01:24.510 to show a wide shot of an event , you 01:24.510 --> 01:26.732 can see this lens allows you to cover a 01:26.732 --> 01:29.260 wide subject area . However , a 01:29.260 --> 01:31.310 disadvantage of this lens is the 01:31.310 --> 01:33.199 distortion seen by the bending of 01:33.199 --> 01:35.421 parallel lines . If you're too close to 01:35.421 --> 01:37.980 your subject . This is the telephoto 01:37.980 --> 01:40.400 lens . This lens is longer because it 01:40.400 --> 01:42.720 has a large zoom range so you can stand 01:42.720 --> 01:45.250 far away from the subject . This lens 01:45.250 --> 01:47.306 can be useful for portraits . If you 01:47.306 --> 01:49.306 want the focus to be mainly on your 01:49.306 --> 01:51.194 subject , notice how it blurs the 01:51.194 --> 01:53.250 background . A disadvantage for this 01:53.250 --> 01:55.370 lens is the distorted perception 01:55.370 --> 01:57.203 because you appear closer to the 01:57.203 --> 01:59.520 subject than you actually are . You 01:59.520 --> 02:01.631 could be standing 50 ft away from the 02:01.631 --> 02:03.853 subject and yet the photo makes it look 02:03.853 --> 02:05.964 like you're three ft in front of it . 02:06.040 --> 02:08.250 You may also need a tripod or monopoly 02:08.250 --> 02:10.690 to keep the lens stable as movement can 02:10.690 --> 02:13.130 cause the photo to blur . This is the 02:13.130 --> 02:15.074 zoom lens . This lens can give you 02:15.074 --> 02:17.297 views similar to a normal and telephoto 02:17.297 --> 02:19.680 lens . It's zooming capabilities allow 02:19.680 --> 02:22.350 for more movement during the shoot to 02:22.350 --> 02:24.572 show you the versatility of this land . 02:24.572 --> 02:26.683 I took these two photos from the same 02:26.683 --> 02:29.080 distance but different zoom links . If 02:29.080 --> 02:31.080 you don't feel comfortable with the 02:31.080 --> 02:33.191 restrictions of a normal or telephoto 02:33.191 --> 02:36.130 lens , this is a good option . Each of 02:36.130 --> 02:37.963 these lenses have advantages and 02:37.963 --> 02:40.019 disadvantages . The type of lens you 02:40.019 --> 02:43.030 use , such as the normal wide 02:43.040 --> 02:46.110 telephoto and zoom is dependent on the 02:46.110 --> 02:48.730 shoot and the look you're going for the 02:48.730 --> 02:51.010 right lens will enhance your photos to 02:51.010 --> 02:54.260 better illustrate the Air Force's story .
