hello pls I really wanna enrol for a photography training but I do not know which and where to see a good school...any link? ? in lagos tho

I think pefti offers courses on still photography, but I think photography can be self taught if you are really interested in it. the downside of self tutoring is that it will take you longer time to understand the field. Another option is to find an average studio close to where you reside and enroll, although what you will gain from them might not be much, but as long as you know how good you will like to become, you can converse online with other pro photographers and read books that will help.

PRIME LENSES
In contrast to a zoom lens, a prime lens is a lens with a fixed focal length, so its field of view is always the same and cannot be changed. The only way you can make your subject appear larger or smaller is to move yourself closer to or farther from the subject, meaning you can only zoom in and out by moving closer or farther to/from your subject.

Given that zoom lenses can cover many focal lengths in just one lens, the question might arise as to why anyone would want a fixed focal length lens that doesn’t allow you to zoom in and out.

There are essentially four reasons that prime lenses are prized by photographers: speed, quality, cost, and size.

First on the list is speed. The maximum aperture opening on prime lenses is usually much bigger/wider (allows more light) than on zoom lenses, especially relative to cost. So, it’s easier to find a prime lens with a maximum opening of ƒ/1.8 or even ƒ/1.4 than it is to find a zoom lens with that capability. A lens with a large maximum aperture is said to be a “fast” lens.

A second benefit for prime lenses is their image quality. Despite the advances in modern zoom lenses, prime lenses often produce sharper, higher-quality images than their zoom counterparts. Many photographers love the sharpness and contrast that prime lenses provide.

Thirdly, prime lenses are usually cost-effective. Many modern prime lenses are inexpensive, especially for their quality and zoom lenses, especially the best-quality ones, are usually quite costly. A set of three fast prime lenses that cover the range of focal lengths that a zoom lens might handle can be less expensive than a single high-quality zoom lens.

So, regardless of your budget, you can experience world-class optics at a fraction of a cost of an expensive zoom. Lastly, prime lenses are almost always much smaller and much lighter than zoom lenses. Most photographer’s find that a mix of prime and zoom lenses is a good option for their needs.

Summary: Recollect that zoom lenses allows you to zoom in and out on a subject while you are standing at a single point, meaning you can increase your focal length( measured in millimeters e.g. from 35mm to 50mm) to zoom in and decrease your focal length to zoom out ( e.g. from 50mm to 18 mm). Prime lenses are quite different because they have a fixed focal length, meaning you cannot zoom in and out.

well done
