Everyone knows that photographers use cameras to produce pictures.Professional photographers often have many other tools at their disposal to produce the breathtaking images you see in magazines and art galleries. Some of these tools are simple contrivances that control lighting, while others allow photographers to take pictures from very close or very far away.
Lenses
There are many lenses for cameras. Professional photographers use single-lens reflex, or SLR, cameras that use interchangeable lenses. The categories for these tools include macro, standard and telescopic lenses. Macro lenses are used for taking close-up photographs of very small things. An example would be a teardrop running from the eye of a model. Standard lenses are used for normal photography at distances between about 5 feet and higher. Standard lenses may have some telescopic (long-range) or macro abilities, but they can't get too close or far away. Telescopic lenses are used for photographing close images from far away. They are often used to photograph wildlife and sporting events.
Filters
Photographers use lens filters to control the type of light recorded by the camera. The primary use of filters is to reduce excess reflection of the subject being photographed. For instance, photographing a lady wearing jewelry in bright light means the light reflection from the jewelry will create a brilliant star in the finished picture. Using a cross screen filter removes this light reflection from the picture. Other filters include UV filters for protecting the camera lens as well as sharpening the contrast of outdoor pictures. A circular polarizing lens is used to remove reflections from non-metallic shiny surfaces like water.
Stands
Photographer's stands are not limited only to the ubiquitous tripod. Outdoor nature photographers benefit from unipods, also called monopods. These serve the same purpose as tripods, but double as walking staffs, as well. The purpose of a tripod or monopod is to steady the camera for the picture. The difference is that a monopod must still be held by the photographer, while a tripod allows the photographer to step away from the camera after setting the timed exposure.
Flashes
Flashes come in as many different forms as lenses. A flash may be mounted onto the body of the camera, separated from the camera on its own stand or even be a separate handheld unit. The purpose of different placement of the flash is to control where the shadows fall on the subject of the photograph or to remove the shadows entirely. The flash may also be used to reduce the appearance of "red eye" in pictures. This is when the reflection from the subject's eyes shows red in the photograph.
