In order to make a real wedding photo album, you need a set of lenses, so that you can capture all the details of the wedding from the artistic angle, way and angle, and bring some creativity. If we have unlimited possibilities, we will take a bunch of the most diverse optical equipment to shoot, but in fact we are physically (inconvenient to carry a lot of things) and economically limited. We need high-quality and multifunctional lenses that can be easily put into small bags.
1. Zoom lens 70-200F/2.8L
At f/2.8, it has excellent blur, ranging from 150 to 200.
The compression obtained by mm zoom is difficult to obtain by any other lens. The lens also allows you to bring the necessary elements of the ceremony closer, so that the photographer will not bear the important moments of the ceremony because of his body, such as this photo:
Let you capture the happy smiles and tears at the banquet at close range:
2. Lens 50mm f/ 1.4
Lens 50 mm f/
1.4, so that you can continue shooting when it is dark and capture the background at the same time. With this lens, you don't have to rely on the flash, and the photos can become smoother and more natural, just like these outdoor dances:
50mm focal length can also shoot excellent portraits under a large aperture-the depth of the scene can make the subject stand out and soften the skin.
3.24-70mm f/2.8L USM
This lens is a necessary equipment for a small space. For example, the tea ceremony at Chinese weddings is usually held in the living room. In this case, a 70-200 lens does not have the required viewing angle and the necessary distance from the object, and a 50mm lens does not provide enough variability.
4. 100 mm f/2.8 macro USM
Usually, if the bride and groom spend tens of thousands of dollars on detailed wedding plans, then obviously they want you to have the same details as the photographer. With the macro lens of 100mm, the quality of capturing these details is comparable to that of watch advertisements in exquisite magazines. By using such optical elements, skillfully using creativity and playing with light, we can obtain, for example, the following wedding ring photos:
5. Lens15mm f/2.8- fisheye lens
Fisheye lens is very important for shooting from a unique angle. In such a shot, the eyes are attracted to the center, creating an unreal feeling. This will create an ultra-wide lens covering the entire wedding venue.
Use this lens to shoot mass activities, such as dancing at a banquet:
Because of the focus on the central part of the picture and the distortion along the edge, it has achieved quite interesting results, but it still allows you to observe people's smiles and emotions.
6. 16-35mm, f/2.8L II USM, super wide-angle lens.
Sometimes, the 24-70 lens is not enough to capture anything you want. In this case, a super wide-angle lens will be used to shoot, which will make it possible to put all the objects around the wedding into the picture:
The scenery of the wedding scene will be an excellent cover of the wedding album.
6 kinds of lenses, but it is worth mentioning:
1.85mm f/1.2l ii USM ii level 1
Lens, but if you are satisfied with 70-200mm photography, it is not necessary.
2.24-105mm f/4L
One of the great advantages of this kind of lens is its versatility. However, as mentioned above, we usually shoot with a wide aperture, and f/4 does not always provide the required zoom and shutter speed.
