Looks like it would be a great place for a long, serene walk just breathing the crisp, clean air 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Unfortunately, Yakima is subject to inversions (we're in a bowl, like Denver, but less extreme) and also to wildfire smoke coming from north, east, west and south. We don't have humidity though, so in late autumn and spring the possibilities of "crisp and clean" do exist Looks like it would be a great place for a long, serene walk just breathing the crisp, clean air 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Lens compression could be very dramatic and to master it requires plenty of practice beforehand. The link to the article you posted offers an excellent explanation of the technique. We have to remember and, we tend to forget it that when we shoot with a tele we compresses the background while a wide angle expands it.
Both of your images are excellent examples. Like others here I prefer No.2 which in my humble opinion is a great shot.

The compression vs. expansion is related to where we stand and how far away the subject is vs the distant background. The theme for the flickr group is an excellent exercise in learning - or, in my case, refreshing one's aging mind

Really nice second photo, Linda.
I have the same problem sometimes. If you saw the two combine photos I posted a few days ago, the bean heads in the two photos are really the same size, but the first one looks much shorter. I think the result is a combination of a telephoto lens and camera angle.

Thanks very much, John. My two photos here were not "problem" shots. They were composed specifically to illustrate how you can use compressed perspective (lens compression, and other terms) to tell your story Really nice second photo, Linda.

Our natural vision is, of course, subject to a compressed view - even when in 3D. So to minimise what we would consider to be distortion, should we shoot with a 45 or 50mm Lens? Would not the resulting picture then be "normalised" by our brains?

"It's an effect that comes about by moving the position of the camera in relation to the subject you are photographing."

"Perspective distortion is a separate category of visual distortion that has nothing to do with camera lenses. Perspective distortion generally has to do with the positioning of a subject in relation to the camera and your angle of view."
