for the more geeky photographers
you know having a selection of lenses
to cover everything obviously if you can afford it
lots of lenses are great prime lenses
which are ones with the big glass and you know
are made specifically
for a job
you know they're expensive
but they are amazing lenses
a lot of people go for more of a zoom which will allow you
to zoom in zoom out wider i dont tend to i tend to use primes
i have one or two which i love i have a tilt and shift lens
which allows you to change literally tilts the focus plain
on itself on an axis and its
very popular at the moment very trendy at the moment a good macro lens which is more like a
portrait lens it gets very close is
ideal i mean i would happily have lived off that lens for the whole of my life and not
changed the lens i could have done anything on that lens really
a wide angle again
never really works with food unless
where occasionally you'll be abroad and you want to take a whole
tabletop and you want to take it from above and you can get the whole lot in
but
to be honest you use these things
once in a blue moon
whether you want to invest the money in that for once in a blue moon you know i have to
do it because its my job
if i'm taking my photos
for blogs or whatever there's no point you have a lens you love and you
tend to stick with it
fifty ml
eighty ml something like that
they also make these little close up extenders
you know if you have a standard lens you can buy the little extension tubes
which go on they are little rounds of metal
and you put them on between your camera and your lens and they allow you to get
that little bit closer each time the bigger
the extension tube the closer you can get
and they are fun and you can get lovely macro setting on those you can get very very close
very shallow focus you know your photo can almost become paintely
