Except that he is fundamentally incorrect about the relationship between focal length and compositional perspective. He keeps moving back, and therefore keeps changing his perspective. Focal length has nothing to do with this and you CANNOT get the same shot if you move WHATSOEVER. He should be explaining this in terms of minimum focus distance, field of view and magnification… not perspective. All he’s doing is showing you how to change perspective which applies the same way to any lens of any length if they’re mounted to a camera that is fixed in space. Focal length, to be crystal clear, does nothing at all to change your perspective and that’s how he is explaining this.

A good video on an often overlooked topic. When I was on a group holiday in northern India, everyone was keen to get pictures of the mighty Kanchenjunga (3rd highest mountain in the world). The guides knew a spot where you could sit with some flowers around and with Kanchenjunga behind. I was the first to arrive and picked my spot to take the photograph several yards back from the seat. The rest of the party arrived and all started taking pictures of their partners from close range. They had almost all finished when one of the party declared how disappointing it was that that when she framed the picture the mountain behind looked so small and not at all how she visualised it. I suggested she stepped back to where I was standing and to try again, she was amazed that by zooming in so her partner was the same size in the frame, the mountain behind now looked enormous. Having been a keen photographer for a number of years, I was surprised at how many people had not realised how you can change a composition by changing your viewpoint and the focal length of your lens. I have heard photographers say your feet are your best zoom lens, but sometimes it is the two together that deliver the results you want.

Marlon King nobody knows what it means but it’s provocative!!

In film, this effect we witnessed here is called dolly zoom. The focus stays on the fixed object, but the camera moves backward or forward, so it opens up or narrows down the field of view while the focused object stays the same size. Good for eerie or surreal shots, prominent examples being Vertigo or Goodfellas.

@50shadesofgayy

Ай бұрын

Yeah but he explained this as “getting the same shot” with different focal lengths at different distances and that’s actually not even possible. Because that’s not possible, that is why the dolly zoom IS possible. You are shifting object parallax when you move in space and that’s what determines your composition and zooming in does nothing but magnify. Whether he understands that or not is unclear because he’s explaining it in a fundamentally nonsensical way.

I'm an amateur photographer. I found this out (focal length) one morning by accident. Was shooting a Silver Frost in Wyoming USA, shot with a 18-55MM Cannon kit lens, then changed to a 75-300MM and grabbed a VERY nice shot of a close up of a branch with a half inch of frost on it. The background became a very nice BOKEH . One of my favorite shots today. Learned a very good lesson about Focal Length that day, confirmed by your video, thank you.

Thank you Mike, Natasha and camera man for all your time, effort and knowledge.

+brianminkc I can't reply on your post "moral of the story .... shoot all your portraits with a 500 millimeter lens?" - you need to change your G+ privacy settings. Not really because it depends on where you are and what you want the portrait to look like. If you want a portrait that shows the environment or is wacky / dramatic, then a much shorter lens would be better. If you want to do the opposite then 200 - 500mm is an option.

This really is an excellent explanation of focal length. Very well done Mike, Natasha and assistant.

On vacation I went to the famous Grand Teton Mountain Moulton Barns, set my lens at what I thought was the prescribed wide angle setting, stood 10 feet from the barn and shot away. To my dismay my viewfinder presented to me possibly the worst rendition of that scene ever produced. Then an experienced photographer came to my aid. He showed me that if the photo is about the background and not the foreground I should ditch the wide angle setting and stand way back and frame up with a telephoto setting. To my amazement I discovered that there was a beautiful mountain that rose up from behind that barn. I can’t thank that photographer enough for the help he gave me on that day.

Lovely insight. Thanks for sharing

Sad thing is that many photographers mistake having a maximum of blur in the background (by using the longest focal length they could dig out of their photo shelf) with making a good portrait. Actually people tend to look flat, like having a pancake face, the longer the distance is. My thoughts are: the person you are taking a picture of should have about the distance to the camera that it would have when you looked at this person with your own eyes. Not that nose to nose situation and not too far away either. Just the distance that is conventional when talking to people. Because only then you have the right amount of depth in the persons face. The nose doesn't stick out like Pinocchio because you're too close, but the face is not flat either, because you're too far away. A person will have the most natural proportions if the photographer has a "normal" distance to his subject. That includes backing off a bit for a full body picture because people don't tend to look at other people at a talking distance when they want to get an overview over the whole person, for instance when being asked by a person if an outfit looks good on him or her. Just my thoughts. Of course it all comes down to personal preference. I just think that this "I shoot my portraits only at the 200mm end" dogma is based on the wrong preferences, because it's not mainly about the background but about the subject. There are wider lenses, like the 50/1.2 or 85/1.4, that produce tons of background blur but deliver a much more natural look. Also they place the subject in a context by giving some vague informations about the surroundings of the person rather then bluring everything until it is only a plain one-coloured background.

@@ceeIoc There are four factors that determine depth of field: distance, focal length, sensor size and aperture. The shorter distance, longer focal length, bigger sensor size, and bigger aperture will decrease the depth of field. So if the other three are constant, the closer you get in on the subject, the more background blur you get. If you change the focal length from 200 to 50mm, you have to get in really close to get the same shallow depth of field with the shorter lens. Here is a great simulator for dof: dofsimulator.net/en/

It made sense. If you ONLY want crisp focus on one point and a blurry background and nothing else buy a longer lens. say 70-200mm, use it set long with a wide aperture (low F number). If you'd like to experiment more then I'd go for maybe a 18-70 as well. If you're just starting out and experimenting to see if you like it or not suggest you buy second hand to keep costs down. You can always upgrade later...

The perspective element of this is driven solely by the distance between the camera and the subject. You'd get precisely the same perspective by using the same focal length at all the distances and cropping the resultant picture to the same framing. Of course the big downside of this is that you will very rapidly get reduced resolution. So the lesson here is that what controls perspective is just that distance to the subject. The reason different focal lengths are used is simply to maximise the amount of sensor being used for your preferred FoV. If you want your main subject to look large compared to the surroundings, move close to it (or them). That way you get apparently enormous people and small mountains. However, if you want tiny people and large mountains, then move further away from the people. So think perspective first, and focal length second. The focal length is just an enabler to fill the sensor. It is not responsible for the perspective.

@petermoeller5901

+Steve Jones This cannot be said often enough. This slogan “use a long focal length to avoid perspective distortion” even works as a rule, but technically speaking, it is not correct. It is the distance sensor/subject that drives perspective distortion. The above slogan or rule works, because with the longer focal length you will move away from the subject. The other thing is that even with a shorter focal length, there are techniques to avoid distortion. Basically, be very careful to hold the camera horizontally and at the appropriate level… so you can get flattering portraits head & shoulder with a 35mm or 50mm lens… but with a 12mm a head & shoulders portrait avoiding distortion would be very difficult.
