Creating Simple Images for Personalized Messages
I spent this morning with a 5 month old Silver Langur named Ollie at the Columbus Zoo.
Todays photo tip is being prepared and knowing which lens to use to capture the best image available. I’m always asked which lens I used to capture my image. Today I used my oldest lens, a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8. Using it with my Canon 50D, I was able to capture an exuberant baby Silver Langur Monkey. I chose my lens based on the low level of light in their home coupled with needing a fast shutter speed. Sometimes we are tempted to use the newest lens in our bag just because it is there. I always try to think about what I want to accomplish with my image before I start shooting . In this case, I wanted to create an image I could use to send my friend for a birthday greeting.
Many times simple images have the greatest impact. He’s 50 this year and I wanted something that would crack him up. I’ve attached image I used for his greeting. Let me know what you think!
