A Little History & Camera Lenses

Once upon a time…

These cool Chinese people figured something out… • Camera Obscura

And then a few people played around with the scientific process… • and created FILM photography

But then we decided that film wasn’t cool enough

And neither was earth • Therefore, the same year that man walked on the moon, we also invented the digital camera. GO US! Ps, this was in 1969. Aren’t you glad we’re small now?

The End of the Story • And now on to camera lenses…I know you’re excited!

Macro 60mm • Great for extreme close ups

Zoom (any two #’s) • Great for vacations when you don’t want to carry around a lot of lenses with different focal lengths. HINT, there are many types of ZOOM lenses. Wide angle zoom, telephoto zoom, etc. See? This goes from 18-55

Fisheye 10.5mm • Has a lot of distortion and it’s a sUUUUper wide angle lens

Wide Angle (Smaller than 24mm #) • This is nice to have when you need a lot of stuff in the shot Mrs. Johnson took this in Hong Kong

Telephoto (70mm+ ish) • Use this lens when you don’t want to get close to something (like a stinky person), or if you can’t…cause you’ll die…or get run over…or arrested….  Mrs. Johnson’s from Thailand Being very sneaky
