landscape photography
- When shooting landscapes photography, place people or objects at different points and experiment with the shots you want to try in a wide-open space. By placing the subject farther away from the background, you can take photographs with a great view!
- When Point and shoot landscapes, use lines to create movement. For example, use a line from a curved road to the horizon.
Architectural photography
- The new Russar+ is perfect for architectural shots, as it emphasizes the scale and lines of the subject. If you try shooting from various angles, you can experience various effects that can achieve with Russar+.
- Find a building or monument, start symmetrical from your head, and gradually shoot from all angles to get more experimental shots.
- You don’t have to go to famous monuments or anything, look around where you live, and you’ll be able to get some nice pictures of the architecture.
Portrait photography
- New Russar+ lenses do stand out in confined spaces thanks to their short focal lengths. Take the classic ‘in my car’ shot. Or wouldn’t it be bad to add as many people as you can and give it a new feel?
- Stand on top of an object or group and see how the new Russar+ captures emotion and expression from this insane angle
Street photography
- The New Russar+ has a very wide focus and can absorb a lot of rich action, making it very useful for street photography. Go out to crowded places like street parties or festivals and watch how New Russar+ shoots the streets naturally!
- Crowds aren’t just talking about people – take a picture of a flying bird too!
- And some of the best photos are close-ups, so take a close look at your subject.
focus tip
Hyperfocal distance focusing
Two hyperfocal points at 0.5m-0.9m and 1m-infinity make the new Russar+ a great lens for quick snapshots. The hyperfocal focus method is usually used when shooting landscapes to bring everything in the eye into focus. If you focus your lens at a hyperfocal distance, it will focus from half that distance to infinity. Wide-angle lenses like the Russar+ have a short focal length and therefore have a deep depth of field (depth of field is the range that comes into focus in a picture). By setting the hyperfocal distance, you can maximize the depth of field in your photos.
The technique of focusing on hyperfocal lengths is much easier and more available with lenses with depth-of-field indicators, such as the Russar+. It is a great testament to how the Russar+’s manual settings give you maximum control when taking pictures.
Another convenient feature of the Russar+ is that the focal point for the aperture is displayed for viewing. Each aperture value is doubled when the lens is viewed from above.
You can set the focus on the current aperture to the bluish mark. Then you can focus everything from the first marked distance to infinity. Therefore, the first marking refers to the minimum distance that must maintain an object in focus. For example, if you stop at f11 with the new Russar+ and set the lens to hyperfocal length, everything can be in focus from 0.6m. Wider apertures such as 8 or 5.6 also boast a fairly large focus range.
