The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

    Helpful in understanding how the settings relate to each other. I also liked playing with shooting in monochromatic, which is something I don?t normally do. It forces you to look at things in a different way.

    Great class! Instructor was very patient and helpful. He showed us how to adjust the camera settings for different lighting and for different images we were photographing. We each had different cameras and he was very knowledgeable about each one. I?m now not afraid to change my he camera settings for fear of ?breaking ? the camera. And I didn?t know my camera had so many features. Looking forward to the next training on Flash.

    Minas Garabedian
    I have been into photography for some time now (20plus years, but who's keeping track!). It started out as a hobby and grew from there. Portraits are my main focus, but I like exploring different avenues as well. Lighting is key, and setting up various equipment to get the desired effect is my passion for creating images that have an impact for both me and my audience.

    Minas Garabedian is available for private bookings

    While working on a project at old Sturbridge Village, I happened into the pottery shop where this young gentleman was greeting visitors. I had been photographing all morning, so was prepared for the low lighting conditions. My biggest challenge was to capture the subject in his natural setting. He was very animated and after editing the shot I realized that I liked what I saw , his personality shining through. Shot with Nikon z50 f7.1 ISO 4000 at 1/80 shutter speed with Z DX 50-250 mm.

    In January 25, I went on my first safari. The wildlife we saw, exceeded my expectations. We tracked this leopard, knicknamed Tom, the tatty eared leopard, for several miles. Eventually he stopped for a rest on the branch of a tree, just a few hundred yards away from our truck. I took numerous shots, but felt that I had really connected with him in this shot. It felt as though he was looking directly into my eyes!
