The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges (focuses) or diverges (defocuses) light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance.

  • what do you think about the 15 - 55 mm lens which comes with D5100 nikon. i am going to buy it soon. I understood most of the concepts in the video. Quality of the images with 15 -55 mm will be satisfactory? I want to capture some nice shots on the wedding event of my friend. I am a beginner in photography so your advice would lead me to a good decision.Thanks

  • @zob1122

    15-55mm is good wide zoom lens to cover group shots in wedding photography, but not sure the quality of the lens, it's good to look at MTF chart for that lens before making the purchase.

  • Liked the video, but the audio put me off slightly, too much fuzz in the background and i had to ramp up my speakers to hear the video... thanks

  • @offspringy

    sorry for the inconvenience.

  • @Lincoshop - Usually I block people for spamming their shit videos in my Inbox. You're lucky your content is decent.

  • @andyd568 I do not watch his videos. He does not watch my videos. My comment still stands. I did not send him a video of mine, nor am I subscribed to him. Why am I being subjected to him? As I said. He is lucky he provides good content, otherwise he would be banned for spamming which is exactly what he did.

  • @ProjectCarTV - You're not doing @Lincoshop a favor by watching his videos. He's doing you a favor by putting up such great content. A general statement of appreciation should suffice.

  • Thanks; count with that.

  • Great video's, just what i've been looking for. Thanks for emailing me :)
