FOCAL LENGTH and DIFFERENT VIEW POINTS


The top shot is 18mm wide angle and the bottem shot is the 105mm zoom shot.

For this exercise I photographed the same scene with my telephoto lens, once at 105mmand once at 18mm. I tried to frame the phot with the same boundaries so I started with 105mm shot and then moved in for the wide angle 18mm shot.
The diffence between the shots is marked in the zoomed shot the background is not so clear as in the wide angle shot, also the perspective is pretty different. For example the tree/bush between the person on the right of the shot and the person on the left of the shot in the zoom photo appears in completely a different position in the wide angle shot (betweent the person on the right and the right hand edge of the frame. Also items in the background of the zoom shot appear nearer/larger, such as the large tree to the rear. The wide angle shot appears to have more depth.
