It is also important to understand that the size of your sensor affects your focal length. “Full Frame”, “FF” or “FX” sensors are the same size as 35mm film (24mm by 36mm). Cameras with these larger sensors tend to be more expensive that crop sensor cameras with smaller sensors.

When comparing the two images, the shape of the truck and the compression of the parts of the image are very different. I moved back away from the truck for the 105mm focal length image.

Start with your widest angle lens and make sure your subject is in a position where there is something in the background (so not right up against a wall). Get close to the subject so you can almost fill the frame with the foreground subject and capture an image. Then select a longer focal length and back away from your subject so you can fill the frame with the foreground subject and still see the same thing in the background. Compare the images. You can actually do this for multiple focal lengths and not just your widest and longest focal lengths.

When it comes to protecting your home or office from the sun’s rays, understanding the difference between infrared and UV light is crucial. Tony Bishop, owner of Clearview Tinting, sheds light on why these differences matter, especially when considering infrared or uv window film solutions for your building.

The example of the ferries wheel illustrates the way that many people think about lenses. You use wide angle lenses to capture a wide view of the world and you use telephoto lenses to capture images of things far away. But you need to shift that thinking to to truly understand lenses and focal length.

It is really important for photographers to understand how their different focal lenses see the world because they will be able to choose the lens that fits their vision for the image they have in their mind.

Fortunately, 3M produces a number of Sun Control Window Film products to help address some of the issues caused by infrared and UV light. These films come with various levels of reflectivity and darkness to suit a variety of residential and commercial building needs. 3M’s Prestige line is excellent at combating negative effects of infrared heat as it blocks 97% of infrared heat from coming in through windows. It is also a lighter film so residents can enjoy clear views with less heat gain. For individuals looking to reduce the negative effects of UV light or protect their building and furnishings from fading, 3M’s Night Vision line is a great option that significantly reduces the amount of UV rays that enter a home and cause fading. This line also reduces sun glare and allows for excellent visibility outside, especially at night.

Understanding focal lengths is incredibly important in photography. You need to understand how different focal lengths see the world because that will enable you to choose the best focal length for your image.

I have heard photographers say that they don’t need a wide angle lens because they don’t really like landscape photography. And if they need get more into the scene then they can just back up.

Look at the shape of the marker and the size of the buildings in the background. In the 28mm example, I was quite close to the marker while I moved back to capture the image with a 150mm focal length.

There are two things to notice in this series of images using different focal lengths. 1. The size of the tree and the rubbish bin the background 2. How the shape of the bench changes and becomes more compressed the longer the focal length is used.

A 100mm lens on a full frame camera will act like a 150mm lens on a 1.5X cropped sensor camera or like a 160mm lens on a 1.6X cropped sensor camera. So this will affect the field of view of your lens.

While they might be able to back up, the image they capture will be different. You can’t just replicate the look of a wide angle lens by backing up with a longer lens. Just like you can’t replicate the way a long telephoto sees the world by getting closer. It doesn’t work that way.

Here are some more examples of how focal length affects your image. Be sure to pay attention to the size of the objects in the background.

When it comes to safeguarding your home or building from the damaging effects of infrared heat and UV light, choosing the right window film is crucial. That’s where Clearview Tinting comes in. Our experts are committed to helping you understand the unique challenges posed by different forms of light and heat. We offer specialized infrared and UV window films tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your interiors are protected. Trust Clearview Tinting to guide you in selecting the best window film solution for your space.

UV light, on the other hand, is notorious for causing fading in homes and buildings. “UV rays are what’s going to cause fading; it’s going to damage your skin, hardwood floors, furniture, wood, things of that nature,” Bishop explains. UV rays are absorbed by surfaces, causing them to fade over time. This damage can be seen in as little as six months with consistent UV exposure, which happens mainly on south or west facing windows that get a lot of sunlight. Skylights are notorious for causing fading because they bring in so much light. UV window film installations on skylights can help prevent fading.

When it comes to window film, infrared light is primarily associated with heat. It’s the kind of energy that can “bake” your furnishings and flooring, causing them to dry out. “Infrared is more of a heat and energy process,” says Bishop. This heat can be particularly damaging to wooden window sills and drywall, causing them to crack and require frequent painting. Many home and building owners opt for blinds or other window coverings to block out heat from the sun but what this does is trap the heat into a small area between the window and the blind, instead of reflecting the heat away from the inside of your space. This is why drywall and sills of windows without window film can dry out. In addition to causing elements of your home or building to dry out, infrared heat can create uncomfortable temperatures and hot spots in buildings due to its heat characteristics.

Infrared and Ultraviolet light are both types of electromagnetic radiation found on the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light (the light we see) is also on the electromagnetic light spectrum, along with radio waves and x-rays. The difference between Infrared and Ultraviolet light is that they have different wavelengths. Generally speaking, infrared light is felt as heat while UV light is known for its potential to cause harm to skin and materials because of its higher energy levels. Both are important to understand in terms of window film because both can cause harm to our interior spaces, and ourselves, if we’re not careful. Fortunately, specific types of window film can curb these negative effects while continuing to allow sunshine into our indoor environments.

Focal length is a number represented in mm that tells you the angle of view that your lens will capture. The lower the focal length number, the wider the angle of view. For example, a 14mm lens has an angle of view of 114 degrees while a 200mm lens has a focal length of 12 degrees.

So wide angle lenses like the 14-24mm F2.8 have a wide field of view and telephoto lenses like the 70-200mm F2.8 have a narrower field of view.

One of the best ways to understand the concept of focal length is to capture images of the same subject using different lenses.
