Learn How to Make Money with Photography by Selling Photos
A photographer should never overlook the value of the lens that is attached to his/her digital SLR camera. I use Canon models, so I am always on the lookout for the best Canon digital SLR lens , and since I don’t have inexhaustable funds, my search is limited to lenses in my price range .
When I started taking digital photos with my first Olympus 3-megapixel point and shoot camera, I became obsessed with nature pictures. Macro photography, in particular, was very fascinating to me.
So now, when you pair Canon digital slr lens with nature, you are talking about image quality in its finest form. For some types of photography like family pictures or street journalism, the sharpness and detail are not quite as important as with nature photos.
I have had the occasion to “lose myself” in a “National Geographic” or “Outdoor Photographer” magazine, imagining that I was the nature photographer who submitted the award winning photos on those pages.
Those guys and gals who shoot for “National Geographic” use lenses that cost in the thousands of dollars… way too costly for my meager budget.
So when I come back to reality, I am encouraged because getting an excellent Canon digital SLR lens does not have to cost an arm and a leg. In fact, “award winning” photos can be taken with less expensive lenses as well.
When I say smaller budget, I am talking about, let’s say, a bird lens of about 300mm f/4 with an extender. If you are shooting with a Digital Rebel or a 60D, you can have an effective range of about 600mm, give or take a few millimeters. Now with 600mm of distance, you can do some real damage in bird photography.
Now, with a Canon 100mm macro lens, you can also score. It is an amazing lens for under $900. Yet, this lens is a favorite of many pros, and it will yield many super images, especially in the macro category.
One things that sets these lenses apart from the ordinary kind is that they are not limited to taking pictures of nature. The telephoto ones like that 300mm lens will take great sports shots, too. So if your kids are playing soccer or field hockey, you have it covered. And a 100mm lens is perfect for portraits.
Get a good Canon digital SLR lens and it will last you years, which is just one more reason not to go cheap when it comes to lens buying.
