HOW TO USE A TELECONverter
What is a teleconverter?
Tele-converter (English sec. TS) is an additional optical system that is fixed between the camera body and the main lens. The purpose of the teleconverter is to increase the effective focal length of the primary lens. TSs are characterized by a magnification factor that varies from 1.2x to 3.0x (the most common are 1.4x and 2.0x). For example, for a telephoto lens with a focal length of 300 mm f / 2.8, a 2.0x tele-converter will double the focal length and reduce the maximum aperture by two full stops, resulting in a focal length of 600 mm f / 5.6. Teleconverters have the same effect on the zoom lens – the entire zoom range will be increased, and the maximum aperture will be reduced. For example, a 1.4x TC turns a lens with a focal length of 70-200 mm / 2.8 into a lens with 98-280 mm / 4.0. Continue reading

Shooting with a wireless remote control significantly expands the capabilities of the photographer, brings much more flexibility to the work. Touching the camera directly is sometimes not practical or even impossible. In addition, simply pressing the shutter button with your hand can cause the camera to vibrate and shake, which wildegrade image quality.
The ability to use the camera while being at a distance has many advantages. You can use the cable, of course, but you will still be limited by its length (and add more security problems), although this is a budget option. But still, no one wants to trip over the cable and pull the tripod and camera for it, and in the end break everything up. Continue reading
Photo for memory, Or why it is important to keep old pictures
Surely every family has photo albums with old family photographs that gather dust somewhere in cupboards, on mezzanines. Someone decides to simply throw them away to make way, and someone has long been going to take apart old pictures, but their hands do not reach this point.
About what historical value photo archives have, said the famous photographer Ramil Gali.
Old photos: to the dump or to the museum?
– Why has the topic of preserving photo archives become so relevant today? Continue reading
