Digital Photography Tips




froknowsphoto.com When it comes to selecting a lens for a specific photo shoot there are so many factors that come into play. Do you want to shoot wide angle and have everything in sharp focus or do you want to shoot super tight and blow the background way out. In the video below you see Greg demonstrating how by just changing the distance to the camera the background will totally change. The first section of the video is being shot with the Nikon D3s 70-200 2.8 VRI at 200mm. You can see that the background is blown out but you can still make out the shapes in the background. In the second part of the video Greg got closer to the lens and all that changed was the focus. Now you can see that being closer to the lens the background has been totally blown out and anything in the back is unrecognizable. You don’t always need to have the best glass or fastest F stop to blow out the background. If you get closer to your subject and have a deeper background you can still get a similar effect with a 5.6 lens.

For example when I shoot head shots I love using my Nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII because I can isolate my subject form the background. I zoom in as well as get closer to my

    Meet Carrie and Froggy. 22 years ago, at the age of 7, Carrie’s mom bought her a “grow your own frog” kit from the Miles Kimball catalog. He arrived a tiny tadpole, and since then Froggy and Carrie have had many adventures together. They’ve moved from one coast to another and then back again; he’s survived a broken leg caused by an overly curious cat, and the loss of his mate at a tender young age. He’s lived almost a couple of decades beyond the average life span of an African Clawed Frog. This pair is already one of my favorites for my Kindred Spirits project.
