Requirement
3 images
Purpose
- To explore the difference in impact between using a telephoto and a wide angle lens
- To identify the factors that are important in making a successful telephoto image
Technical learning
- compresses distant planes and detail, so perspective/ depth is weaker
- makes depth of field shallower, so increasing the probability of out of focus elements in image
- works through more atmosphere, so colours are more muted
- reduces the angle of view, so makes it easier to eliminate unwanted elements and use vertical framing successfully
Exercise instructions
- Make 3 bracketed images of 'compressed planes' in a distant landscape
Images and review
Parque Natural Montes de Malaga
Bracketed images taken with telephoto zoom at 170mm and f8, using Panasonic Lumix G3
Impact was:
- to shorten distance between the shoreline and mountains in the background
- to get rid of a flat expanse of sea in the foreground
- to tone down the natural colours of the landscape
- to produce an image that is relatively sharp from front to back
