Perspective B Wide
This is from an assignment on Dyxum.com. Dyxum is a website dedicated the Minolta and Sony A-Mount cameras and lenses. One of the nice things about the site is that they have some truly knowledgeable and dedicated photographers there who are willing to take the time to craft assignments for other photographers to shoot to better their trade.
This assignment was entitled 'Perspective.'
It's a three part assignment and in the first part, you were supposed to take a telephoto shot, and then a wide angle shot, and crop the wide angle shot in Post to be the same framing and size as the original.
The second part is to take a wide angle lens, a telephoto lens, and a 'normal' lens. Shoot your subject with the Wide and the Tele lenses, and then put the normal lens on the camera. Move forward and back on foot until the size and framing of the original is duplicated in the 'normal' lens. I shot that part with a Tamron 28-75mm, so I used 28mm and 75mm as my wide and tele, and then 55mm as my 'normal' and moved front and back. I should have moved further back for the wide part.
Finally, Part C is walk around until you find something you want to shoot, and STOP and SHOOT IT. Then, look at the photo, and see how it can be improved by moving the camera up or down, and left to right. I moved five feel left, and reframed and shot You can see the difference a mere 5' makes.
