My Project

Currently, students in our photography class are using a standard 18-55mm Canon kit lens. While these lenses offer a wide variety of uses, they aren't specialized enough to create stunning portraits or detailed close-ups of products, both things that students learn in this photography class. With the kit lens, students can take photos of people and practice composition techniques, but they can't blur out the background to make a meaningful portrait. They can take a photo of a mountain with the kit lens, but they can't zoom in enough to get that magical, simplistic photo with a 300mm zoom lens. Both the 50mm and 75-300mm Canon lenses will open up a whole new world to student photography, and they'll see that they too can get great-looking photos!
