Standard Lense
The standard lense comes with most cameras as the default lense. Standard lenses are designed for taking basic shots with nothing too extreme. Although the standard lense isn't designed for the extreme it still has the ability to take some stunning shots.
Macro Lense
The macro lense is designed for close-up shots particulary familiar with close-up shots of flowers. They create such an effect that it is purely the item you want to take the photograph of that will be in focus and the background being blurred out. Some macro lenses can be quite expensive but you can also get macro filters which just go over the top of the standard lense.
Zoom Lense
Zoom lenses are designed for taking shots from long away. They are particulary used for landscape shots like wideangled lenses. You would be able to take a perfect shot which looks like you right next to the area you are shooting but actually you would be quite far away.
Special Purpose Lenses
Special purpose lenses are used to create shots that are not normally taken. Alot of them consist of taking shots to filter out certain aspects or colours in a shot. Below are a few special purpose lenses which can be used.
* Fish eye Lense
* Stereoscopic Lense
* Soft Focus
* Infared Lense
* UltraViolet Lense
* Swivel Lense
These lenses all create different types of effect like the fish eye lense for example. This lense creates a dark effect around the shot creating a bowl like effect for the shot. Ultra violet and infared lenses can also be bought in a filter form to put over a standard lense to get rid of certain colours from a shot which should'nt be there. Soft Focus lenses give a soft but not out of focus shot, particulary used in portrait shots. Swivel lenses rotate on the camera itself to give different angle when taking a photograph to give quite a unique effect. Streoscopic lenses take pairs of photographs which give a 3D type effect when viewed with approriate gear.
