Luminous Landscape have published the 3rd article in a series of 9 from Alain Briot. The series as a whole is looking at the subject of “Aesthetics and Photography”. This latest article is called “How to Choose the Best Lens For a Specific Composition” and focuses on the relationship between lens choice and the depiction of a scene, specifically landscape photography.

“Choosing the right lens for a specific photograph is an important decision. This decision follows your previous decisions about how to compose the scene, and composition follows what you saw in this scene, what you want to photograph in the first place. In short, each of the steps involved in taking a photograph, from seeing to composing are related.

With lens choice we now start talking about how we can photograph the scene in front of us. We move from visualization to creation in a sense, and, for the first time, we are going to actually going to use a camera. We are almost to the point were we will actually take a photograph!”
