DSLR Photography while Traveling : Tips on Lens

 

As we saw in the choice of photo backpack or bag to take on trips, the requirements for the choice of Lens depend on the way we will spend the days on the road. The most important aspects to consider are:

1. If most of the time is spent in motion, moving mostly on foot, we often do not find conditions that might allow to change Lens
2. We need the Lens to be sheltered from the weather (which could lead to excess dirt within our reflex)
3. During a single day visit to different places with different lighting conditions, the subjects to photograph are many and varied and probably will require Lens of different focal lengths, apertures, etc..that can hardly be covered by a single Lens.

 

From these observations, the following are the requirements:

 

1. Kit lenses should not be heavy, no meaning not to struggle during long journeys
2. The number of Lens has to be reduced, we can not count on being able to change lenses frequently
3.  Unless we decide a priority to photograph landscapes or only small details, we will need to cover a lot of focal lengths, to take pictures of indoor or outdoor in the evening hours, we will need lenses with wide maximum aperture.

 

So, this is an average, palatable and digestible article aiming to the most – definitely, more precise article will be published in future on the same topic, but we guess, the major points written in this article are quite valuable.
