Hello I'm new to photography and have started an online course with PI and i think I'm in over my head but really love photography and want to learn more I have no clue really about lenses and what ones are best to do what with. Below is my first Q. And I have answered it and would like some feedback good or bad just need to no if I'm on the right track
Thank you so much in advance for any ones comments
For each of the following hypothetical photographic assignments you have the following equipment at your disposal (note that you do not have any zoom lenses):
Two small format DSLR cameras with full sized 35mm sensors 20mm lens
24mm tilt-shift lens
35mm lens
50mm lens
90mm tilt-shift lens
100mm macro lens
135mm lens
300mm lens
Neutral Density Filter
Polarising Filter
Two quick cycle portable flash units made specifically for your cameras Transportable studio flash gear
Tripod
Monopod
Nominate which of the abovementioned equipment you would use for each of the following 10 scenarios and give a brief explanation of why you made those choices:
1. A large art gallery has hired you to photograph every individual framed painting in the gallery for an upcoming exhibition. They require colour accurate copies of the artwork for use in a catalogue. This is what I have come up with of any one could tell me if I'm on the right track it has taken me ages to get this 1 done now to the other 9 :/ it's not easy and this is the 1st assignment !! Here is my answer
1- I would take both DSLR camera's and I would fit one of them with the 90mm tilt-shift lens to photograph large painting's to correct for any perspective distortion. I would fit the other camera with a 100mm macro lens to photograph small painting's to get a close and sharp image. I would also take transportable studio flash gear incase the lighting was not right. The last two things I would take is a polarising filter to reduce reflections if needed and the last thing would be a tripod to eliminate camera shake.
