最近看到那么多准备上DSLR的兄弟们天天YY机身和镜头,从无忌上看到的一篇文章,转过来给大家消消毒。
One of the most common questions found on this forum is "What lens to get"? Often this question is asked by someone who describes themselves as new to dslr or awaiting the arrival of their newly purchased camera. I would like to make the following suggestions before someone considers purchasing a new lens to replace the kit lens:
1. Experiment with the kit lens. Find out what it is capable of. This lens will amaze you with what it can do if only given the opportunity. 2. Take pictures at all zoom levels, f-stops, and shutter speeds.
3. Discover the relationships between the variables listed in #2. Learn how to expose an image differently by altering one variable and then another.
4. Try taking the same picture with different ISO settings. See how f-stop and shutter speeds are affected by different ISO settings. 5. Use each of the different program modes found on your camera.
6. Intentionally underexpose or overexpose an image to create a feeling that you want to convey to the viewer of your picture.
7. Experiment with bokeh and use it in a creative manner. Yes, the kit lens is capable of bokeh!
8. Set your lens to a zoom level and leave it there all day long. Practice zooming with your legs.
9. Spend an entire day with the lens set on manual focus. Learn how to focus without relying upon the automatic focus feature.
10. Take some pictures at slow shutter speeds (handheld and on a tripod). Learn at what shutter speed you can no longer hold the camera steady enough to take a shake free image. Create a feeling of motion in an image that you would like to hang on your wall. Slow a waterfall down until the water looks like slow moving fog. YES, the kit lens is capable of all this. 11. Take some pictures at fast shutter speeds. Stop action in mid air.
12. Take pictures in the bulb mode. Star trails, automobile taillights, ghost images, and fireworks are all great opportunities to create an image you would be proud to share with others. Yes, the kit lens can do all this too. 13. Capture an image of a lightening bolt.
14. Take a picture of the moon. Not a close up of the moon, but a landscape picture which includes the moon.
15. Try panning. Fast moving vehicles or an athlete at a sporting event are great subjects to practice the technique of panning. 16. Take some pictures of water drops until you get one that you want to print. 17. Take some portraits of your friends. 18. Take some candids of your friends. 19. Ask 10 strangers if you can take their picture.
20. Take some self-portraits of yourself. Find one that you would like to share with others.
21. Try taking some pictures of items close up. You may not be taking true macros, but you will be amazed at what the kit lens can do.
22. Go downtown at night and take some exposures without the flash. Learn to use the available light.
23. Be thankful that Canon gave you an onboard flash. Learn how to use it. Try using a coffee filter/tissue to soften the flash?s effect or an index card to create a bounce effect.
24. Take pictures in the middle of the day. Learn how shadows can create a mood.
25. Catch yourself knelling on one knee to capture an image. The best angle is not always found standing up. 26. Make someone laugh with a picture you took. 27. Make someone pause and reflect with a picture you took.
28. Practice using your software program that you process your images with. This is your darkroom, learn how to make most of it.
29. Visit someone else?s online photo gallery. Find an image you like and see how close you can imitate it.
30. Look through a magazine. Find a picture you like and see if you can imitate it as well.
31. Print these suggestions out and highlight those that you have not done with the kit lens. Do those that you highlighted.
Once you have followed these suggestions and others you will discover along the way, ask yourself what you enjoyed the most, what you would like to do more of, what would you like to do easier, differently, or in another way. Then you can begin to answer the question, "What lens should I get"?
(稍微翻译一下,水平实在有限,请高手接力.)
据我所知,刚接触或即将接触单反的人最喜欢提的问题就是“选择怎样的镜头”,伴随而来的就是抛弃套头更换新镜头。在大家做出这样的决定前,我给出以下建议:
1、试用套头,从而找出最合适的用途和工作环境。巧妇难为无米之炊,只要镜头被赋予适当的机会,一定使你眼前一亮。
2、尝试利用每一个焦段、光圈和快门值进行拍摄。
3、厘清第2点三因素间的关系,学习通过改变它们而拍出不同的片子。
4、尝试使用不同的ISO值,切身感受不同的设定对光圈和快门所产生的影响。
5、玩遍机子里所有的拍摄模式。
6、通过有意地使照片曝光不足或过曝,让读者与你产生共鸣。
7、测试镜头的景散性能,培养使用习惯。其实套头的相关性能相当不错!^ ^
8、把镜头的焦段定住一天,用你的腿变焦。
9、用一个空闲天练习手动对焦,学习如何不依赖自动对焦。
10、用慢速快门拍片子(手持或用三脚架)。看看自己的手持能力可以驾驭多慢的快门;拍摄一张感觉上触手可及的照片;放慢流水,直到水象会动的雾。没错,套头也能做到这些!
11、拍摄快速快门的照片,留下空中运动的轨迹。
12、用B门拍摄。星星的轨迹、汽车尾灯的轨迹、鬼影以及焰火等都可被拍摄成令人骄傲的照片。套头也能做到这些!
13、用相机捕获闪电!
14、拍摄月球。并不是月球的近照,只是一张包括月球的风景照。
15、尝试预判性(计划性)拍摄。高速行驶的汽车以及运动会上的健儿是最好的素材。
16、对下滴的水进行拍摄,直到生成满意的片子。
17、为朋友们拍摄写真。
18、抓拍朋友。
19、去问十个陌生人是否愿意被你拍摄。
20、自拍。并与你愿意的人分享。
21、凑近物体拍摄。这不是真正的微拍,但你会为套头的效果而惊叹。
22、下乡不用闪光灯拍夜景,学习怎样利用一切合理光线。
23、应该为佳能给你提供了内置闪光灯而感激,学下怎样利用它。尝试用咖啡色滤镜柔化闪光效果,或用一张index card(不会译)营造一个跳跃性的效果。
24、在中午拍摄,学习影子所带来的情调。
25、单腿跪地拍摄,最好的照片并不一定来自于站立姿势。
26、让别人为你的照片欢笑。
27、让别人为你的照片停下手上的活并对你表达他的意见。
28、练习使用修改照片的软件。这是你的暗房,学下怎样最大限度地发挥它的作用。
29、访问别人的网上相册,找找你最喜爱的照片,并看下你能模仿到什么程度。
30、看看杂志上的照片,并看下自己能否没100%模仿下来。
31、把以上建议打印并标出那些是你还没用套头做过的,然后去做。一旦你按上述建议作了以后,你就会独觅其径,问问自己喜欢哪些,愿意更多地关注什么,哪些你愿意轻描淡写,哪些你会迎难而上,或者另辟其径。然后,你就可以问那个问题:“我需要怎样的镜头?”
