Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Telephoto
A telephoto lens is a type of camera lens characterized by its long focal length, which allows photographers to capture distant subjects with a magnified and narrowed field of view. Essentially, it makes faraway objects appear closer and larger in the frame. Telephoto lenses excel at capturing subjects that are physically far away, such as wildlife, sporting events, or architectural details. They effectively bring the subject closer, filling the frame and allowing for greater detail. A significant characteristic of telephoto lenses is their ability to produce a shallow depth of field, resulting in blurred backgrounds, also known as bokeh. This effectively isolates the subject, drawing the viewer's attention to the main point of interest in the image. Telephoto lenses create a unique perspective where objects in the background appear closer to the foreground than they actually are, an effect called perspective compression. This can be used creatively to emphasize the relationship between different elements in the image or to create a more dramatic feel, especially with landscapes or cityscapes. Compared to standard or wide-angle lenses, telephoto lenses have a narrower angle of view. This means they capture a smaller portion of the scene, allowing for tighter framing and focusing on specific details without including distracting elements. Telephoto lenses tend to be larger and heavier than other lens types. Longer focal lengths magnify camera shake, making it harder to get sharp handheld shots, especially at slower shutter speeds. Image stabilization (if available) or the use of a tripod can help mitigate this. Telephoto lenses, particularly longer and faster aperture models, can be expensive. While all telephoto lenses have a long focal length, they aren't necessarily zoom lenses. A telephoto lens can have a fixed focal length (prime lens) or a variable one (zoom lens). A zoom lens is defined by its ability to change focal length, and while many telephotos are zooms, not all zoom lenses are telephoto (some cover wide-angle to mid-range focal lengths).
