[Part four of the Photography Fundamentals series, be sure to check out all 10 posts!]
Now that we’ve covered the basics about what to let into your camera (lighting and composition) let’s focus on how all that reflected light gets into your camera: your lens.
Volumes have been written on camera lenses; which glass refracts light best, whether to shoot prime or zoom, but honestly, most of that stuff doesn’t matter. In fact through the rest of this post I’m going to assume that you can’t change your lenses, that you’re stuck with the motorized piece of plastic and glass that’s stuck to the front of your point and shoot camera.
Even without spending $1500, you can make decisions about your lens that affect the quality of the image you’ll get.
