Same camera different lens: What's the difference?
I took these two photographs of a rainbow just minutes apart today. Using two different lenses from the same standing position to show the difference in the size of the field of view between the two lenses. 

Why? :)  For my own understanding of what this camera can do and just thought I'd share the results with you. I believe that If you really want to learn something. Then daily practice is very important. 

This first photo was taken using a 30 mm lens and as you may see it has quite a wide angle in comparison to the second photo. I have pumped up the colour a little to accent the blues in the clouds.

Category (photography)
Camera   (Canon EOS 70D)
Exposure(1/250)
f Stop (f/5.6)
ISO     (100)
Lens  (Sigma 30 mm)





This second photograph was taken using a 50 mm lens and as you may see the field of view is considerable narrower and using the same amount of colour boost it seems a little less vibrant.

Category (photography)
Camera   (Canon EOS 70D)
Exposure(1/250)
f Stop (f/5.6)
ISO     (100)
Lens  (Canon 50 mm)


Both photographs were taken using manual focus and all other settings were the same for both photos. It would be easy to just use the 30 mm lens and then just crop the image but where is the challenge in that? And I would learn nothing?

I am getting the hang of this camera. It's been a steep learning curve but enjoyable.

Thank you for reading and following me on my journey deeper into photography. It's a lot of fun and I enjoy learning something new every day.

Thanks @gillianpearce it just makes it so much clearer to me, what these lens are capable of when I do these comparisons. Working on last nights photos of Mars right now. I was inspired by your photo of Mars the other day. :)

I looked at your camera gear list, and I really like how you are starting out with prime lenses.  I think there are great benefits to this approach.

This is my first DSLR camera and to be totally honest. I had no clue what a prime lens was until I started using this camera.
I bought it with the Sigma 30 mm Art lens and bought the Sigma 10-20 primarily for 'vlogging'...yep for vlogging which it is very good for but even better for landscapes and astrophotography.
The Canon 50 mm was a recent gift from my son who is a pro photographer. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
I do love all three lenses. They are amazing me every time I use them.

Thanks @tattoodjay I was thinking that the best way to see what each lens can do is to do some comparison tests. It makes more sense to me if I can see the actual results of both lenses side by side.
  
I took some more photographs last night. Photographing Mars and the Moon. I got some interesting shots.

@molometer I do the same whenever i get a new lens Comparing shots and our own take is far better than just trusting reviews
