Many of the creative options available to a photographer hinge
on an in-depth understanding of lenses. In Foundations of
Photography: Lenses, Ben Long shows how to choose lenses and
take full advantage of their creative options. The course
covers fundamental concepts that apply to any camera, such as
focal length and camera position, and shows how to evaluate and
shop for DSLR lenses. The second half of the course focuses on
shooting techniques: controlling autofocus, working with
different focal lengths, and managing distortion and flare.
The course also examines various filters and contains tips on
cleaning and maintaining lenses.

Topics include:

* Understanding field of view and camera position
* Depth of field and lens choice
* How to choose a lens
* Examining lens features
* Using specialized lenses such as fisheye and tilt/shift lenses
* Focusing techniques
