Focal length… it's not just a random measurement. It's not just zoom. It's the very essence of your photograph, as well as a handy numerical representation of what you can "see" with your camera and lens. From 10mm to 1000mm, your focal length determines what elements actually appear in your image, and we dare say that's kinda important. In this episode, Nick and Nicolai from Cameta Camera discuss focal length from wide angle to super telephoto, explaining how a matter of a few millimeters can completely change the look of your photos. Plus, we even get into zooms versus primes! Bonus!

Camera Academy (from Cameta Camera!) is basically an audio-only Photography 101 course, except we have no teaching or broadcasting experience.  But never fear!  We know quite a bit about cameras.  Every episode, we tackle a different photography topic, providing beginners and camera enthusiasts alike an approachable, possibly entertaining resource for photography knowledge and irrelevant pop-culture references.
