The diverse portraiture from a pocket-sized lens AF 24mm F1.8 FE

How Does the Samyang
AF 24mm F1.8 FE Perform
When a Portrait Photographer Shoot?

Is there an all-around lens that is fast, sharp,
and fits in your pocket?

The new Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 FE is the new buzz in town,
and as a photographer, I need to check out this tiny lens that is making headlines. When I first read about it, it’s made with a specific feature to cater to Astrophotographers, with that one button to instantly focus infinity is quite mind-blowing! But how will it perform when used on portraits? Well, I happen to test it out myself and it is delightful.

First of all, the small size is convenient. This is perfect for long outdoor shoots, where my camera dangles on my shoulder or hangs around my neck which can feel rather exhausting and so this lens is hassle-free in that context. I can compare this to a small macaroon oozing with deliciousness and elegance, which we will translate into sharpness and top build quality.

Children Model X Portrait Photographer X AF 24mm F1.8 FE

I get to use this on our trip to see the New Brighton Lighthouse with my family, partly to film a video review of this lens for my YouTube channel. This is a stunning place with the ocean view and rocky shore leading to the lighthouse by the sea, it’s a sight to behold, if you are in the area, best to check it out. When we first got there, we were worried that it will rain – classic English weather, but we got lucky as the sun finally made its appearance. I watched my son play along the shoreline as he observes tiny crabs go about their day, hiding away from his sight.

How do you photograph children that are far more curious about their surroundings than you with your boring camera?
Easy! You make them play! Children are interactive creatures, you need to speak to them, engage with them, ask them questions, and then magic will happen!

With the Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 FE fast focusing ability, I sure get the shots I like!

And this is very fun because instead of asking him repeatedly to do a pose, I can just go ahead and shoot as many images while he is being himself, enjoying his time in the process. The puddle of saltwater is like a giant mirror indeed added a nice touch.

The sun was shining ever so brightly, an opportunity to see what sort of lens flare it will give me……
it didn’t give me any lens flare. What is more impressive is the photos taken directly against the light are still contrasty and sharp which so far in my experience, they should start to become hazy from the sunlight.

Professional Models X Portrait Photographer X AF 24mm F1.8 FE

I live in the City of Liverpool, the home of The Beatles and historic architectures, from the breathtaking sight of the Liver building or perhaps, a nice romantic walk at Royal Albert Dock during the night. It’s a place with endless picturesque backdrop opportunities. So, I thought, I should go to the city and take portraits there, something in contrast with what I normally do, a bit far from children portraits, because this time, I will be taking photographs of talented models.

This lens will be perfect for shooting models! The right focal length for a city adventure, and with its size,
I won’t be standing out in the crowd.

The diverse images I can create with just this single lens are incredible, this is what I meant that it's delightful to use!

I’ve gone out and explored new places as well as am developing myself as a photographer. I love to photograph movements, one of my most favourite posing ideas. Apart from asking my subjects several questions to make the entire experience engaging, I ask them to either spin, do playful movements with their body or clothes. The Samyang 24mm F1.8 FE excels in these criteria especially paired with my Sony A7III to let out its full potential.

At close-up shots, it gives a nice subtle bokeh that compliments the entire picture. These images were taken outside the Museum of Liverpool because its glass walls and banister made of glass caught my attention.

What other ways could you enjoy the city? Evening walks! The bustling street of the capital’s shopping centre is a sight to see. With the lights glimmering in every corner and people going in and out of shops and restaurants. This is the setting I have always wanted to photograph, especially at night but somehow, I felt a bit intimidated by it. Maybe because I have heavily relied on natural light and the shoot at night is unknown territory for me. Even though I like a busy street, I don’t think I can manually remove each person on my photograph on my portrait. Luckily my model was up to the challenge! We shot at a low shutter speed and I have instructed her to not move at all for a couple of seconds. Not only that, but we also needed to deal with the rain, yes, it was raining heavily that night. I had an umbrella over my head to protect my gear, we set up in the middle of the street and we took the shot, needless to say, I am pretty satisfied with the result knowing this is my very first night shot!

Indoors X Portrait Photographer X AF 24mm F1.8 FE

At last, trying the Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 with an artificial light indoor with no other than my husband who was more than willing to pose for me. I would usually use my Samyang AF 35mm F1.4 for this type of photograph, but surprisingly, I like how it distorts just a tad bit when I photograph very close to my husband, it adds that effect. Plus, look at how sharp that is! Another lens was added for my indoor sessions for sure....

Perfectly Performs in a Diversity of Portraits

In conclusion, Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 FE can be used by a beginner to a seasoned photographer. The diversity of images you can take from this one tiny lens is impressive. Whether it’d be Astrophotography which it's mainly designed for, landscapes, and/or portraiture. It’s sized perfectly for travelers and outdoor photoshoots, but it just doesn’t limit you there as indoor photos using artificial light as I’ve tested also gave splendid results. I am certain that this pocket-sized lens will always be in my camera bag.

森养最佳标准画角提案解析

从人与人之间的关系乃至为了营造美丽的空间而布置装饰品时都需要保持适当的距离。那么,为了更好地欣赏美术或摄影作品,我们应该保持多少距离?

答案是相当于“作品框架对角线的长度”的距离。

표준화각 자료 이미지
표준화각 자료 이미지

为了将作品完整地纳入视野并予欣赏,保持相当于作品对角线的距离为宜。如果距离过近,将大于人眼可集中精力的50°视角而无法取的良好的欣赏效果。

为了最佳欣赏效果与最佳视角而保持理想距离也适用于摄影技术。在拍摄静止画像的摄影技术中,将等于摄像面对角线长度的焦距镜头定义为标准镜头。数码相机的全帧传感器尺寸为36x24毫米,其对角线距离约为43.26毫米,标准镜头应为多少毫米以下的最理想答案可以称为“接近43.26毫米的数据”,而难以断定是至今被视作标准镜头代名词的“50毫米”。

以往与胶片对角线长度相仿的45mm画角镜头较为常见,随着SLR相机大获成功,为了保留可容纳反射镜的空间,50mm被视作标准镜头。但是,最近随着无反相机底边大幅放大, 鉴于无反相机法兰距短的特点,需要将标准镜头的画角以45mm再度予以解释,由此开始研发AF 45mm F1.8 FE。 与35mm画角镜头相比,三阳的AF 45mm F1.8 FE将畸变现象降至最低,且比55mm画角拍摄范围宽,为人物、风景、建筑物及宠物等各种主题摄影呈献令人满意的效果。

什么是预设光圈功能?

在预设光圈功能中,光圈可以像”控制环操作音消除(De-click)镜头“一样丝滑驱动,为视频拍摄提供支持。

富士相机的设计根据最小曝光量(F-stop)控制光圈,当相机控制光圈时,会依靠短暂闪烁来调节曝光。而AF 75mm F1.8 X不会向机身传送光圈信息,这种刻意的“预设光圈功能”无需闪烁就可让平滑的曝光调节变为可能。只需控制光圈就可以使ISO和快门速度适应不同的曝光环境,因此即使采用1/2 F-stop也依然可以调节曝光。

有哪些预设光圈功能的使用建议?

预设光圈功能仅能在视频拍摄模式下运行。 建议在f/1.8光圈和A、M曝光模式下使用该功能。有关“预设光圈功能”的使用建议请参考上表。

* 预设光圈功能的使用方法

1) 设置相机机身
      AF模式 → 视频拍摄模式(“A”或“M”模式)→ 光圈值固定在f/1.8
(2) AF 75mm F1.8 X镜头设置
      将“自定义开关”切换为“模式2(M2)”
(3) 使用对焦环调整预设光圈

Dolly shot是什么?介绍摄影办法

[Dolly Shot是什么?]

一般利用带轮子的车,根据调整相机变焦的速度前后移动拍摄的技术。这导致被摄体和背景的倍率差异,从而将梦幻效应记录在视频中。

[简单用手持拍Dolly shot的方法]

Tip.如果移动距离长,相机可能会晃动,请在35~100mm区间拍摄。
1.距离被摄体约1.5~2m左右。
2.将自定义开关切换到MF和Mode3后,将视角设定在100mm左右。
3.通过调节对焦环聚焦被摄物,然后将光圈设置为F8~16。
4.利用上身和手臂,将相机靠近被摄体,将变焦操作慢慢向左(广角方向)转动。
5. 完成Dolly shot!
※在与拍摄对象更远的距离拍摄时,使用卡丁车或万向稳定器等,可以更稳定地进行拍摄。
