Photo & Video: Lenses

Before you go out and shoot, you need to have lenses to actually take the videos and pictures you want. I will go through the 4 lenses every videographer and photographer should have in their bag.

1. 16-35mm f2.8: The perfect lenses for a YouTube vlogger, portrait photographer, and real estate videographer and/or photographer. Not too wide, not too narrow, just right. Price: $2,199.00 or a slower (f4) for $1,099.00

2. 24-70mm f2.8: The do-it-all lens. The perfect lens for anyone getting started. Best for portraits, landscape, and product videos. Just the right amount of range of focal lengths. Price: $1,899.00 or a slower one for $589.00

3. 70-200mm f2.8: The longer, sniper lens. Get in close to the action with this lens. Best for landscapes, sports photos and videos, and action shots. Price: $1,179.00 or a slower one for $596.00

4. 50mm f1.8: The nifty-fifty. Open the aperture way up to f1.8 and get super shallow depth of field and awesome photos and videos. Best for portraits, product videos and architecture photos. Price: $125

My go-to lens is definitely the 50mm f1.8 for its super shallow depth of field and sharp picture's it takes. What is or would be your go-to lens. Write it down in the comments.

See you guys tomorrow for another great blog about video cameras!

Video: Frame Rate and Shutter Speed

Today, we will be talking about f rame rate and shutter speed. Frame rate: The frequency at which frames in a television picture, film, or video sequence are displayed. Shutter Speed: T he time for which a shutter is open at a given setting. First, we will be talking about frame rate. the abbreviation for frame rate is FPS or Frames Per Second. Frame rate is basically how many pictures (or still frames) your camera is taking in a second. 23.976 or 24 FPS is what almost all movies and TV shows are filmed. 23.976 or 24 FPS is also the most cinematic. Most YouTube videos you watch are about 30 or 60 FPS. What's the difference? The difference is how the image looks. T he main difference between each being the number of frames captured per second, the higher the frame rate, the slower the video is. The Slow Mo Guys have an awesome YouTube channel and all they do is... you guessed it, Slow Mo. But, if I'm shooting in 24 FPS, m...
