Today I had a whim and wanted to see the focal length data of the photos shared on my blog. I ran the script and got the following results:

A total of 1986 photos are counted (only photos containing exif data are counted)

Focal length (segment)	Quantity	Proportion
<24mm	59	2.97%
24mm	219	11.03%
25mm–34mm	427	21.50%
35mm	398	20.04%
36mm–50mm	162	8.16%
51mm–119mm	302	15.20%
120mm	100	5.03%
120mm–199mm	81	4.08%
200mm	224	11.28%
>200mm	14	0.71%

Among them, 425 photos (about 21.40%) are from iPhone, and the rest are taken by Sony A7C2 camera.

in conclusion

24mm-35mm photos account for the highest proportion, accounting for about 52.57%.

My Lenses

Tamron E 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 A071
Samyang AF 35mm F1.8
Samyang AF 75mm F1.8
Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8

Data analysis

Although these data are a bit like asking questions based on the answers (because most of the photos are from the Tamron 28-200 lens), it is precisely because of this zoom lens that some of my shooting preferences can be calculated.

CoPilot summary:

The focal length distribution shows very obvious “two poles”:

Extremely high at wide-angle end (24–35mm)
Extremely high telephoto end (200mm)
Low usage at intermediate focal lengths (50–120mm)

“People who enter the world”

——Wide-angle personality (24–35mm ultra-high body ratio)

24mm, 28mm, 35mm add up to over 52%.

This means you are:

Likes to be close to the subject
Likes to get into the environment
Like real, natural and unpretentious pictures
Likes to record life, cities, travel, and streets
You are not the kind of person who “takes photos from afar”; you are the kind of person who walks into the crowd and into the story.
