exactly

[janub]

hi

I'm looking for a method to take a picture of exactly what I see in a certain momemt, as if the camera was my glasses: the same angle I see, the same focus etc. Is there a way to that?

thanx

What kind of camera are you using? Full frame or a crop sensor?

Either way youre going to get a good selection of answers. It used to be generally agreed that 50mm on full-frame is what we see. But that doesnt take into account our peripheral vision.

I don't think it is going to be a case of just picking a suitable lens. The eye roves, refocuses and assimilates on the fly. You need to think about what you see and figure out how to recreate that. For example, you might want to use a relatively small aperture (or stack several shots) to capture how anything in your main field of vision seems sharp but then blur and distort the edges to reflect the less distinct nature of peripheral vision.
