3 Lenses Are All You Need To Sell Photographs You Have Taken!   by Paul Summers

If you have a Digital SLR then you have a means with which to record fantastic images. You may even aspire to sell photographs you have taken. You will have the option to change lenses as you require, unlike owners of compact cameras, and this sets the DSLR apart from their less expensive contemporaries. Most professional photographers will use a large selection of lenses, and if money is no option, then why not follow suit. However, I have found that only a few lenses are required: – most jobs can be adequately covered with just 3 lenses.

The Standard lens size that many SLR camera kits come with is an 18mm-55mm lens. A 50mm prime lens will show the subject roughly the same size as you see with your eye. Therefore, if you look through the view finder at a person standing 10 yards away, and look at them with the other eye without the camera, both eyes will see the subject as the same size. As the number of mm decreases so the person, as seen through the camera, would start to shrink, and thus setting your 18mm-55mm lens to 18mm would enable you to stand close to a subject, and still get the complete scene in your shot.

Alternatively a larger lens such as a 200mm will capture one small section of the scene only. An 18-200mm lens would be counted as a telephoto lens or its popular name of a zoom lens. If you have the option of obtaining a variety of lenses make sure you first check the fittings on your camera as they are not always compatible (e.g. Canon mount will not match a Nikon mount) and then decide which lenses are most important to you. I have found that for most situations, the following 3 lenses cover my needs.

* An 18mm-55mm (good to take photographs of landscapes)

* 75mm-300mm (a great all rounder from portraits to wildlife and sport)

* A 50mm Macro lens.

A Macro lens allows you to get close to the petals of a flower, for example, or the wings of a butterfly and zoom in on the tiniest detail. My 50mm Macro also allows me to take and sell photographs of beautiful portraits, and at its widest aperture (f2.8) I can obtain great depth of field, especially when close to my subject.
