Telephoto views - variety of images (32)

Requirement

Several images

Purpose

To appreciate the variety of compositions which use of a telephoto lens makes possible

Technical learning

• Telephoto lenses narrow the angle of view, so offer more potential images from a single viewpoint than wide angle ones
• The larger the focal length of the lens, the more variety of compositions it offers
• Nevertheless, this still creates a challenge

Exercise instructions

• Select a commanding viewpoint
• See how many satisfactory images of distant views you can create from one location
• Use vertical as well as horizontal framing
• Include the horizon in some, exclude it from others

Images and review
