 Many of the creative options available to a photographer hinge
 on an in-depth understanding of lenses. In Foundations of
 Photography: Lenses, Ben Long shows how to choose lenses and
 take full advantage of their creative options. The course
 covers fundamental concepts that apply to any camera, such as
 focal length and camera position, and shows how to evaluate and
 shop for DSLR lenses. The second half of the course focuses on
 shooting techniques: controlling autofocus, working with
 different focal lengths, and managing distortion and flare.
 The course also examines various filters and contains tips on
 cleaning and maintaining lenses.
