Digital Photography Tutorials Discuss Nature Photography And Digital Camera Requirements

Technology has changed our lives in many ways and, for the most part, has made life much easier and more enjoyable. One area where digital technology has dramatically changed how we do things is photography.

Nearly all camera manufacturers have digital cameras on the market. Moreover the demand for professional digital cameras has tremendously increased due to better clarity and instant gratification. With this technology and the launch of wide angle digital cameras nature lovers and nature photographers have been in photographic heaven.

If you are unfamiliar with wide angle digital cameras the best way to describe them is that they provide a wider view of your subject. Wide angle digital cameras have a lens that is wider than typical normal lens in order to photograph a wider view of the subject. Professional nature photographers typically use wide angle digital cameras since they not only provide a wider angle but also the depth of the field necessary to prevent the photograph from looking flat. For instance, say you want to photograph the mountains. Wide angle cameras are great for this since you can capture the entire area as well as have the essential depth needed to make it appear real and detailed.

Wide angle digital cameras have specific lens measurements and other unique features that enhance its performance. I have listed a few of the features unique to wide angle digital cameras.

Wide angle digital camera have a 28mm lens and have a fast shutter speed. They also have a fast start-up time and user-friendly functions. Wide angle cameras are generally easy to handle and use.

Typically you will find a 28mm-100mm wide zoom which is equivalent to 35mm film camera format on the wide angle camera. The zoom lens gives you a comprehensive 75 degree view which is much better than the 62 degree view provided by conventional 35mm digital cameras. These wider angles, while not providing an actual panorama, allows you to take great photos of landscapes, group photos and other subjects.

Shutter response in wide angle cameras is mere 0.12 seconds and start up time is only 0.10 seconds. These speeds are extremely fast when compared to analogue wide angle cameras and allow nature enthusiasts to capture the quick movements of their favorite subjects. Furthermore, these cameras are incredibly compact and extremely portable. They are typically light which ensures that nearly anyone can easily use them.

Resolution usually falls between the range of 3.0 to 5.0 megapixels. The higher the resolution the better the images you can capture ensuring your photos are high quality with crystal clear details. With this technology your images will look sharper with robust color even when they are printed out.

The zoom feature on the wide angle digital cameras is designed to bring you closer to the subject. You can quickly capture the tiniest of details of your subject very clearly with the availability of a 3.6 optical zoom and 4.4x digital zoom.

Most cameras have a 2″ LCD screen which provides a great preview of the photo. You will also typically find a webcam and video recording that includes sound recording on most models.

Wide angle digital cameras work with your computer and you can transfer images from your camera to your computer using a USB cable. Most cameras come equipped with PictBridge compatibility. The cameras come with software for image enhancement and fast image transfer rate.

If nature photography is one of your passions you may want to look into wide angle technology. Enjoy nature and capture incredible images at the same time with wide angle digital cameras.

On a Nikon digital SLR camera kit, the lens listed is a Nikon 18-55mm lens?

Does this mean that if it were on a Nikon 35mm camera it would be the equivalent of a 27mm-82mm lens? ( Using NIkons 1.5x multiplier ). The reason I ask is that I am more familiar with 35mm lens focal lengths. Just trying to figure out what lens I am getting.
Zoom,wide angle etc…

The 1.5 focal length multiplier means that whatever the lens states, multiply it by 1.5 for your effective field of view on a digital body.
So the 18-55mm would appear to be 18-55mm on a film body and 27-82mm when you use it on a digital body.
However… Nikon DX lenses, and the 18-55 happens to be a DX lens, are intended for digital bodies ONLY. These lenses were designed with a smaller image circle than regular lenses (which is okay, because the sensor is smaller than a frame of 35mm film.)
