Your images are now more two dimensional instead of three. Your shot becomes all about shape, color, texture, and form ..read more

Food Photography Blog

Lens creep is a really annoying issue that happens with a lot of lenses. Many times you don’t even know your lenses are doing it until you notice your framing on your image just changed, and it cropped into your shot.

Before we go into what lens creep is, you need to understand how lenses physically work. Prime lenses have one focal length, like the 100mm lens or the 50mm lens, for example. That number, the 100 or the 50, is ..read more
