Explaning 35mm Equivalent Focal length of your Lenses

Trying to explain the confusion about focal length when manufacturers put in the confusing term of Equivalent into the sales speech. Focal length on all dslr lenses are measured in MM (millimeters) and if it is a 50mm lens on a full frame camera it is still a 50mm lens on a cropped frame camera but the only difference is you see less of the bits at the side making it look like it is zoomed in, but the perspective is not changed so it is the same as putting a toilet roll around your eye, your eye still has the same perspective you just cant see stuff round the edges

Ugly people need to be shot, and Stupid People need to ignored

Firstly to anyone stupid out there. No I am not advocating killling people because of our perceptions of beauty or lack there of. The word shot is in reference to having there photo taken.  Here is the detail in a nice little video for you.



Some of the slower people out there didnt get the message in the video and were to dumbstruck by the words used that they instantly felt offended. Well big deal you were offended. but the shit thing is that as a photographer you are going to have to deal with being offended a lot, and here is my advice regarding that as well.
