Tight framing and the bright

colors provide a symmetry of

balance to this beach scene.

Choice of a wide aperture and

the telephoto's shallow depth of

field throw the white-capped

waves in the background out of

focus to emphasize the subject.

FD75— 200mm f/4.5, 1/250 sec. at f/5.6 IS064

Suspended in space and time, this modern-day FD85-300mm f/4.5, 1/500 sec. at 1/5.6, IS0 64

Icarus obviously has no qualms about flying too

close to the sun. The bright sunshine glistening on

the wings and pilot's helmet highlights detail and

allows a fast shutter speed to be used. The scene

is perfectly framed with the zoom lens at its

300mm setting.

Two little girls in a park. Completely absorbed in FD35mm f/2, 1/125 sec. at f/8, IS064

their play, they are unaware that their picture is

being taken. Children are full of energy, never stay-

ing for more than a moment in one place. Knowing

this, the photographer used a medium wide angle

lens, stopped down for greater depth of field.

The audience goes wild as the drum solo reaches FD200mm f/2.8, 1/500 sec. at f/2.8,

its climax. Shooting from the foot of the stage, the ISO 200 pushed to El 400

photographer uses a 200mm lens to bring the spot-

lit drummer right in close. He keeps his elbows

pressed tightly to his body to minimize camera

movement.

Photography can help us unravel life's mysteries.

This cicada emerging from its cocoon will live only

10 brief days before dying. A half life size shot,

lens and Macrolite ML-1 flash. Single-head

One of the greatest features of SLR cameras is their ability to accept a variety of interchangeable lenses.

The minute you mount a wide-angle lens onto your camera, you'll see the world from a broader perspective. And when you replace

your standard lens with a telephoto, the faraway comes in close, filling the frame beautifully. With different lenses to work with,

you'll be amazed at how much more you can express with your camera. But first, take some time to learn the basics behind lenses.

Nearing Human vision or surpassing it: the interchangeable lens.

The human eye is the all-

purpose lens:

it focuses precisely on whatever it

chooses. Interchangeable lenses make

it possible for the photographer to

come close to duplicating — even sur-

passing — this cap

ability. That's why

Canon provides almost 60 different

inter-

changeable lenses for just as

many different applications. Standard

lenses give a natural-looking pers-

pective which closely approximates

human vision. These have large aper-

tures, which make pho

tography in

dimly lit rooms as well as low-

light

outdoor scenes possible. But for the

really exceptional shot —

asoaring

bird, or the minute details of an insect's

wing

—

standard lenses won't suffice.

Distant subjects require telephoto

lenses, whereas su

bjects almost too

small to see call for macro lenses.

When a broad field of view is the

target, wide-

angle lenses accomplish

the task. Near or far, great or small,

different lenses are needed for

attention-getting pictures.
