BETTER BACKGROUND 53 FIG. 2: Short focal length of standard lens sees too much too sharply, both at sides and on background. Separation is needed. FIG. 2-A: A 3x telephoto clears up the confusion. Background is softened, distractions deleted and subject is freed from setting. BETTER BALANCE FIG. 3: In all long shots, balance of foreground to background objects is determined by lens perspective. Standard lens above. FIG. 3-A: With camera back (note grass) and 2x lens, foreground object holds same size as background subject grows in dominance. BETTER PERSPECTIVE FIG. 4: In closeups, too, perspective is altered by lens focal length. Grotesque distortion above results from wide angle lens. FIG. 4-A: Normal perspective is restored by compressive effect of telephoto (3x here), with camera drawn back for same coverage.
