Half term passed and not had a minute to myself! Ive finally got a camera Canon 40D and bought a separate lens so I'm hoping to get out soon and take some shots for our task... In the mean time I have been reading up more about the aperture triangle and reiterating the basics to myself, DOF and functions on my camera in preparation.  While I was looking for a lens I wasn't sure what to get but after reading up on lenses I ended up going for a canon 24 to 85mm lens and with this, I get a varied focal lenght and not to long therefore I am able to get close up wide angle shots and telephoto images of around a 29 degree angle by focusing in on my subject.  Ive found this chart that gives you an idea on the focal lenghts of the lenses that you can buy as to be highest I had no clue and found this very helpful.

 

Wide angel I can get almost everything in the image, the foreground the subject and the skyline with no negative space, by having a lens that can also go to 85mm I can focus on my subject take the shot but get it in closer and squash it down.
