In this video I share some thoughts around choosing your focal length in street photography. My focal length journey took me from 85mm, to 50mm, to 35mm, to 28mm, and each had something to teach me as I worked to take better images on the street. Hopefully some of the advice I offer here will help you find your own focal length of choice.

Share it on if you found it helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can drones capture night shots?

That's the right answer. But we've been doing it for years now. Since decades, we have been taking night shots.

There's a catch. Night photography requires specialist equipment. You can't do it with a camera that costs less then $10k.

The wavelengths of light that bounce back from objects when they are hit by light can vary.

These wavelengths merge to form white light at long distances from source.

This is why you can still see colors in the distance even though the sun may be millions of kilometers away.

However, when light strikes an object near its source, it reflects within a narrow band wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce straight back to us without overlapping.

This means that objects appear brighter when they are closer to each other. This is why objects can glow under black lights.

The energy an object absorbs determines how much light it reflects. So when light hits an object, it may reflect more blue light than red light.

The human eye is sensitive to blue light the most so objects appear brighter when viewed in black light.

So what does this have to do with drones? You need a bright light source if you want to photograph dark objects, such as caves or forests.

A standard lamp will not provide enough illumination to illuminate the whole scene. It will only create a shadowed scene.

If you want to get a great picture, you will need a flashgun. A small flashgun is better than a big one, as you don't need it.

These lights are also known as speedlights, because they emit flashes so fast they create a stroboscopic effect.

When we say "stroboscopic," you can watch the light pulse across the screen. The faster the rate, the better quality of the picture.

We won’t talk about how to setup a Speedlight. But you can find many tutorials online.

We will tell, for clear pictures, that you need to ensure that the subject is evenly illuminated.

The beam should be aimed at a 45° angle in order to achieve this. You can adjust the flashgun's intensity by moving its head.

Once you have set the setting that is right for you, hold the gun steady as the shutter release button is pressed.

Next, close to the subject, release the shutter. This will set off the flashgun to start a second burst.

While the first burst illuminates the subject, the second one will capture the moment after the first burst has passed.

The end result is a continuous exposure with both bursts light and recorded.

You now know how to take photos during the day. Let's move onto night photography.

So far I have covered all you need to know about taking night photos.

But there's still one thing left to cover: the color balance.

Most people assume that all the images taken at night will be too dark.

That's true, but the same applies to daytime photos.

The camera will always record darker images regardless of whether you are taking photos at dawn and dusk.

Is a photography drone worthwhile?

If you're serious in starting your own business, it's essential to have a great product. If you plan to promote your business, make sure you have a great product.

Most photographers aren't selling their work. They're trying to convince someone else to buy their stuff instead of convincing themselves to do it.

However, if you want to start your own business, you won't have the luxury of waiting for others to allow you to do so. You'll have to go out and find customers right now.

You will need to tell compelling stories that help them understand why your products are better than others.

You'll also need to come up with an effective strategy for marketing those products. However, you might fail to properly price your products even after all that.

Sometimes, you may charge too much. Or you may decide to charge too little. Either way, you're probably making a mistake if you don't know what you're charging.

You can avoid making these mistakes by starting to think like a businessman. That doesn't mean you have to become a capitalist. This simply means that you must learn to value your money, time and effort.

You must also develop strategies to measure the success of your company.

Once you have a good understanding of pricing, you can now focus on creating the best product possible. A product that's both profitable and creative.

A product that solves your problems and gives you real benefits.

One that stands apart from the rest.

Once you've finished building the product, launch it. Then you can start building your brand.

You can take aerial photos with your drone. It will help you become a better photographer. It will improve your skills. It will also allow you to grow your company.

Which are some great places to use a drone to take photos?

Drones have been a very useful tool in capturing stunning shots of nature. Drones can be used to take close-up photos of birds and butterflies, or capture stunning scenery.

You can use drones in the most beautiful places: mountains, deserts. Drone enthusiasts often capture scenic views of their hometowns and other local attractions.

To discover new areas, you should shoot at night when the lights illuminate it. You might also consider shooting in other seasons, especially during winter when there is snow on the ground.

How To

Why do people fly drones at nights?

People fly drones at night for two reasons; because they are curious and they want to capture images of the world around them.

Most people fly drones at nights because of their curiosity. They enjoy looking out at the world. However, drones can also be flown at night to capture photos of the city landscape.

This is urban photography. Drone enthusiasts are increasingly embracing it.

Photographing at night has many benefits, including capturing more detail and better lighting conditions.

Many photographers prefer night photography to avoid the constraints of daytime photography.

These are all great benefits, but urban photography is still very popular. People fly drones at nights to capture beautiful nighttime scenes.

They love how the lights change as the sun sets. Many people now post videos of themselves flying drones at midnight and upload them online.

Although drone footage isn’t necessarily cutting-edge technology, the quality of the images is exceptional.

The best thing about this is that it can be done yourself without the need for special equipment. You only need a smartphone camera.

You don't need a smartphone to use this feature. The market has many great cameras, so you can make amazing drone videos.

You'll be pleased to know that many models of DSLR cameras have night vision capabilities.

Canon, for example, offers the EOS5D Mark III with an integrated infrared LED that allows it see in low light conditions.

Additional manufacturers include Olympus and Pentax as well as Sony, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax.

But not all smartphones can capture drone footage.

iPhones can't use their front-facing camera for aerial footage, so they cannot. They must instead rely on the dual rear cameras of the iPhone 8 Plus.

Once you have chosen the camera that you'd like, it's time to decide where to film your video.

You could film your drone footage at one location or follow your subject.

You should make sure your subject is visible while filming drone footage. You should aim your drone at your subject.

This range should not limit your ability to achieve great results.

You need to be as close to your subject as possible when you're filming your drone footage. This will make the details appear sharper.

Try to move as fast as possible towards your subject.

Now that you are able to fly a drone, let's learn how to edit it.
