What is a good camera lens for night photography?

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:57:07 +0000

One that can capture the moon, or the dark sky with clouds? The camera I have isn’t even close to taking a decent shot of the night today ): So what’s a lens that will provide me with a clean, crisp and colorful imagine of the night sky?

That depends on what camera you have.

How to prevent camera lens from fogging up after snow?

admin — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:45:03 +0000

Just a quick Q, I brought my small compact camera in (Sony CyberShot) from outside to photograph the snow and shadows but when I brought it in, I thought that the lens might fog up so I put it in my porch, which I thought might help the transition. Right now, the lens is fogged up. Its only a small amount so there shouldn’t be damage. What should I do now, and what can I do next time to prevent it from fogging up? Thanks in advance!

Warm the camera …. Fogging is cased by water vapour condensing on a colder surface. If you warm that surface to, or beyond the ambient temperature – No fogging …. Simples!

How much would a digital camera lens replacement cost?

I’m looking to buy a 14mp digital camera but the lens is broken, how much would it cost for it to be fixed?

Can we safely assume this is a compact camera?
As long as you’re passing up that camera, you should probably look at new cameras that have 10 or 12 MP. Cramming 14 MP into compact sensors usually loses more detail to noise and noise reduction artifact than it gains in theoretical resolution. Even at base ISO they often have to smudge out the noise. A little extra high contrast detail may be captured in the higher pixel count, but low contrast textures are smudged out.

How do you fix Nikon Coolpix camera lens after dropping it?

I was taking pictures outside, and my camera fell on the cement, and the lens are stuck. How do you fix it, because whenever I turn it on it says lens error, Im really scared! I bought it at best buy, so do u think I should ask them if they could fix it, or can I fix it myself?

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it’s sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera’s been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended …

Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they’re worth a try.

Is wrapping my camera lens in and put the lens in stroage bag will help to remove moisture in the lenses?

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:30:45 +0000

I decided to wrap my camera lens in the paper towel and put in a 40 gallon storage bag. Is that going to get of the moisture from the camera lens?

You’d probably have better luck using a smaller bag like a gallon Ziploc and adding silica gel. (Keep the lens wrapped in the paper towels!) You can get that at craft stores and Walmart. It’s a desiccant that has a strong affinity for water, so it might pull the moisture out of your lens.

Keep the lens in a cool place while you’re trying to get the moisture out of it. You don’t want fungus growing in there if it can be avoided.

What camera lens would be best for a concert?

admin — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 13:42:48 +0000

I’m going to see Taylor Swift in about a month. I’m sitting kind of far off so I need to know what to look for in a camera lens so I can buy a new one. The one that came with my camera is okay but I’d like a better one.

I have a canon rebel t2i – I’m hoping to stay pretty cheep, maybe under $200 if at all possible.

The first thing to do is contact the venue where the concert is being held. You will probably be told that you can not bring your camera in. Most venues will only allow P&S cameras NOT a DSLR.

IF you can bring your camera, you could try the 75-300mm f/4-5.6, but you will need to use a high ISO (which will introduce noise) and/or a slower shutter speed (will blur movement). When I am shooting concerts, the slowest lens I use is a f/2.8 (the lower the f/stop number, the "faster" it is).

What camera lens should I purchase for shallow depth of field?

admin — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:46:27 +0000

I own a Nikon D3100 (18-55 mm lens) and I really want to do more with my camera than what this lens allows. I’m looking for a lens that will give me really shallow depth of field, any suggestions? In addition to purchasing that lens, I am also looking to purchase a zoom lens. Any suggestions for that, too?
Price is definitely a factor, but I do want good quality, so I’m looking for a good compromise.

Before I go on there is one thing you should know. You can do anything with any lens. You just have to understand its limitations. You can take a wide angle shot with a telephoto lens if you back up far enough. You can take a closeup with a wide angle lens if you stay close enough. You can blur the background if you position your subject as far away to the background as possible with you staying as close as possible to the subject. while using the smallest f/number on your lens. It just so happens that there are lenses that can do some jobs better than others. Don’t put your kit lens down. It’s a good one if you know exactly how to get the best out of it.
