If we have seen life in 50 mm, we will also appreciate it in 35 mm. The two focal lengths are very close to the vision of the human eye and if one dedicates a separate chapter to 35 mm it is because he deserves it. they are known as standard lenses and both are especially suitable for social photography, however, they differ in two important aspects: the first, that the 35 mm lens covers a greater part of the scene, the second, which blurs a little less than the 50 mm, its bokeh is softer.
At what points in your life can you use a 35mm focal length?In each of them, although in some more especially than others, we will see them and thus see first hand what you can get out of them.
- The 35 mm (and more when it comes to a 1.
- 4 aperture) is an excellent choice for such events.
- The large aperture allows shooting indoors in low light.
- Without triggering the flash.
- But the important thing is that this focal length covers much of the scene without distorting.
- As with wide angles.
- In addition.
- Because it is necessary to approach the action.
- The viewer ends up feeling that it is part of the scene.
- Which is more emotional.
Many will agree that this is not the best goal for close-ups, because with the 35 mm you have to get very close to the subject and end up making it uncomfortable. But a portrait isn’t just a close-up. (and it’s not just a face either), there are many types of portraits and you can get fabulous results with this focal length. Why not try it? Enter the world of portraiture here or you can also go a little further.
Being the focal length that most closely resembles the vision of the human eye, it is ideal for transmitting normality. Everyday scenes that your camera comes to life and that, although everyday, are full of beauty and shine, such as the following:
You don’t need a macro to capture the beauty of a flower. Is there a sample here?
Wide-angle lenses are often recommended for landscape photography, however, a recommendation does not imply exclusion. Here are three clear examples that you can capture the beauty of a place with a focal length of 35 mm.
And? Why not? Focus on the details, lights, shadows and not just the inclusion of an entire building in the frame.
I saved this point for the end because it’s my favorite, as I write, can I afford this luxury?And I say this point is my favorite because, in my humble opinion, it’s a perfect lens for this kind of photography. (if you want to know more about this style of photography click here). This time I’m not going to leave you a sample, not two, but a whole gallery of street photos taken with a 35 mm.
Finally, I remind you that if you don’t have a full-size camera (you always ask yourself this question) the viewing angle with a 35mm camera will be similar to the 50mm camera in a full-size camera. well, the viewing angle does, the blur, right?I know it’s a little messy, but here I’ll dispel some doubts.
And remember that a camera, lens or any other element of your team gives you the possibilities but the end result depends on you and your photographic eye, never stop practicing, it is the only way to learn, to shoot without thinking and to awaken the deepest feelings in the viewer.
If the examples above were enough to attract you to get your own 35mm, here it is for Nikon, Canon, Sony and Pentax.
