Hello friends, good vibes everyone.
Foto de mi propiedad.
Today we are going to talk about a topic that many people take for granted because they consider that it is not necessary to understand it since they only want to take the photo and now, but the truth is that everything that is behind the focal length it is much more interesting than you think.
And yes, it is about the distance or focal length that we are going to talk about today. They are those numbers accompanied by the two "mm" or "millimeters" that are in all our lenses or objectives, ranging from 10mm to 300mm and even more depending on the telephoto lens.
Vamos entonces a empezar hablando un poco sobre que es exactamente este termino fotográfico para poner las cosas un poco en contexto.
So let's start by talking a bit about what exactly this photographic term is to put things in context.
- Distancia Focal // Focal distance.
When we talk about the focal length we are not talking about the real distance measurement of a certain lens, it is rather a calculation of said optical distance from the point where the light rays coincide until the moment of forming a clear image, something like they can appreciate in the referential image.
She tells us the angle of view, how much will appear in the scene or frame of our captures. Therefore, the longer the distance the angle will be smaller and the image will feel a little more "compressed". When the distance is shorter, in that case the angle will be much wider and the image will be more open.
Vamos entonces con unos ejemplos y una explicación breve de cada uno de ellos:
So let's go with some examples and a brief explanation of each of them:
Foto con una distancia focal de 34mm // Photo with a 34mm focal length.
As we said before, the shorter the distance, the more open the angle. Here we can see in great detail all the flowers without any problem or blur. These numbers are generally ideal for landscapes but also apply to any outdoor situation.
Foto con una distancia focal de 55mm // Photo with a 55mm focal length.
In this second photograph we begin to climb the distance to the point of reaching 55mm. In the same way we begin to visualize a little more detail in the flowers and the depth of field begins to show a little. Remember that this depth is the blur you see at the bottom of the shot.
Foto con una distancia focal de 75mm // Photo with a 75mm focal length.
We have already considerably increased the distance and with the number also the details. See how the center of the flower can be seen, this is the result of the fact that at a greater distance the angle closes and the photo becomes more compact to end up with an effect similar to that of using a magnifying glass.
Foto con una distancia focal de 140mm // Photo with a 140mm focal length.
Here with this last photo we get to 140mm. It is not the longest distance my lens can go but for the purposes of showing you the differences it works perfectly. We see how only the center of the photo is in focus and this is because the distance being so long, the angle closes, making that part of the capture only focus.
Each number represented in millimeters should be used for certain types of photographs, it is not a rule but it is almost always applied that way. The shorter distances are ideal for landscapes and places with little lighting, as the distances lengthen as we will use them for portraits, photographs of animals and nature.
Distances over 100mm are ideal for minimally invasive portraits and brightly lit locations. As you can see, it is a science to understand and know these things that, in my opinion, are very necessary when taking photographs.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Todas las fotografías de los ejemplos son de mi propiedad realizadas con una cámara Nikon D3100.
Well my people for today is everything, I hope you liked it.
A hug to all, see you in the next one!
All photographs in the examples are my property taken with a Nikon D3100 camera.
