Compressed Perspective
Oct 22, 2023 16:08:41 #
Many thanks to all who helped me clarify "lens compression."
Both shot at 252 mm on an M4/3 body. You don't need to use telephoto to achieve the same effect, but sometimes running up behind someone and asking them to stop and pose isn't advised
Or in the case of #2, sometimes you can't get there from here
Feedback Welcomed.

The zoomed in is really interesting. What did you do with all those wires?

Thanks very much, Kathy! #1 is facing west, #2 is north - totally different scenes. Besides, you know I wouldn't make an effort to take out wires The zoomed in is really interesting. What did you do with all those wires?
Below is the view from the other side of the rise where the man is walking. However, he turned left (more of the "main" road rather than the dead-end in this photo). I encountered him again when I drove in the same direction.
Just noticed there are two hawks on the telephone pole third from furthest away.

Somehow the poles and wires in this image don't bother me. They become a leading line instead of a distraction. Love the hawks!

I've been following this with interest. I always shoot with zooms, and I frequently wonder how much difference there would be between 100m fixed and 100m on a zoom. Maybe this isn't applicable to this discussion.?? I never think of the "squish" effect when I'm shooting.

I occasionally have read that some zooms don't have exactly the measurement advertised.
The compressed perspective happens with any focal length; I'd forgotten that when I posted my first topic. The key is where you're standing relative to the subject and how far away is the background behind the subject.
Lots of interesting articles, if you're interested. Here's one:
