Wide angle lenses - characteristics and instruction

In this article we will focus on how to use wide angle lenses. Also discusses some features of their work. Very often wide angle lenses are used for the following purposes:

1. When the landscapes I want to expand a large space, for example, taking a view of the city.
2. When the photographer it is advisable to stay unnoticed, taking off on the street.

Wide angle lenses Canon have diagonal field of view of 100 degrees, and the width – 88 (normal 35-mm frame).

How to operate, wide-angle lenses? Their features

- They have a large capacity of space. Therefore, the objects in the photograph, reduced in two times. This is the difference between shooting from the usual supplied lens. Simply put, a wide-angle should not be used for shooting mountain scenery, because it strongly grinds.

To Solve this problem. To add to the frame some major items that are in the foreground. It can be:

• Bushes.
• Puddles on the roads.

Thus, create the effect of active spots that can catch eyes of the viewer.

- When using wide-angle lenses, on images can receive the optical distortion. It's barrel distortion (distortion). They appear on the periphery of the frame. But it is not necessary to say that the picture quality worsens due to this effect. Sometimes it's the opposite. Composition in the picture looks more cozy with using the barrel-shaped distortions. If you do not would like to bend space, then look more carefully, to avoid trees or corners around the edges. They are greatly bent. The camera needs to be kept precisely horizontal, because there are blockages verticals.

- Wide angle lenses have a high "likability". Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the position of the sun when shooting on a Sunny day. When possible, use a lens hood. If your gear yet, you expect a little hiccup. Due to the large size of the extra-wide-angle (77 mm), it is difficult to pick up a lens hood and filter. If you do find them, they will cost you a decent amount.

- Wide angle lenses for Canon, combined with a short lens, possess a specific use of a polarizing filter. Because the sky has uneven polarization at wide angle, it becomes dark blue spot. If you want to remove the horizontal landscape with sky, a wide-angle, it is not recommended to use with a polarizer. If you still want to try, then you should opt for polarization filters with a narrow retaining ring. They are made specifically for wide angle lenses and does not allow blackouts to hit the corners of the frame.

With such lenses the use of the built-in flash simultaneously with the short throw option is ineffective. Weak flash can't illuminate the vast range of space and will be located close to the lens with a large diameter. So the pictures are dark spot in the shape of a semicircle. It will be due to the fact that the flash from the lens will cast a shadow. She enters the frame from below.

Of Course, not only wide angle lenses shading, and other types. However, due to the smaller angle field of view, it falls in the frame.

The solution to this problem – to increase the focal length or use off-camera flash.
