Today we'll talk about lenses: Camera lenses may be of different types:1. Macro lenses - usually magnifies the subject to a very high range, with the best ones providing 1:1 i.e. image on a film is the same as the object being photographed. Macro lens based photography is termed as macro photography
2. Wide Angle lenses - usually a focal lenght ranging between 15-50mm. It provides a more real perspective. It provides more detail depth of field, such that background looks almost as well focussed as the foreground. Fish eye lens is a type of wide angle lens that takes in a wide hemispherical image and provides a kindof distorted spherical view.
3. Telephoto lens - high focal length lenses that can be used to shoot distant objects. This is the preferred lens in landscape, wildlife and sports photography.
