In this post i shall highlight the equipment used in location photography.
When photographing buildings it is advised to use a tilt shift lens. This lens distorts the original perspective, making the building appear face on. However, this effect can be achieved using the skew tool on photoshop.
When photographing wildlife it helps to have a telephoto lens, for example, 75-300 mm. This lens is useful for wildlife photography due to the fact that it allows the photographer to zoom in extremely close so as not to disturb the wildlife.
A 50 mm lens would be useful when photographing dark scenarios such as bands or inside clubs as it has a very low F stop which allows a lot of light into the camera.
The cons of using a tilt shift lens are that the full shift decreases the sharpness of the image and creates some problems with the auto exposure.
The lenses themselves are not designed for any parallel movements.
The cons of using a telephoto lens are that the F stop cannot be manipulated efficiently. This means that darker images are harder to take, requiring a tripod.
The cons of a 50mm lens are that you cannot zoom in.
