Long Lens

LONG LENS

1. A long lens has a long focal length, especially as a camera attachment for taking photographs from a great distance. Long lenses must have a focal length bigger than 50mm in 35mm, or 25mm in 16mm.

The advantages with long lenses you can give your subjects more space in situations where you don’t want to be a distraction, you have the ability to isolate the subject from its background, and to wholly make the image just about that particular subject. Long lenses thus give a photographer an alternative to the type of perspective distortion disadvantage is that in many cases (not all), there tends to be little to no context as to the whereabouts of the subject, who else was there, and why the subject may have had expressed what they were feeling.”
