Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to take pictures of animals because it is used to zoom in really close, without you having to get close to the subject.

I would use a prime lens when taking pictures at a wedding because it helps make the pictures brighter when you are in a dark place.

I would use a wide-angle lens when taking a picture of a scenery like the Grand Canyon to get as much of it as possible in the picture.
