Right click select ‘new tab’ to see to see the detail in each image.
To take these images at different focal lengths 18mm and 93.2mm whilst maintaining the same viewpoint has resulted in the following effects:
- There is a distortion of the perspective in the 18mm focal length image, the fence looks stretched in comparison to the first image. I would feel that I had a lot further to walk along the path to my home than if I looked at the left hand image! The angle of view along the edge of the fence is also distorted by perspective view.
- In the right hand image (93.2mm focal length) you can see more of the surroundings which provides some context for the image of the fence along a path. Using the zoom on a lens can allow the photographer to limit what the viewer of the image can see, thus obscuring important information for construction of meaning to be gained from the image!
