One of the other challenges I set myself for Lunch With a Lens, was to go out with a zoom and take the same subject at each end of the zoom range – so taking a long shot – then zooming with my feet to get close enough to the subject that it appeared the same size, but with a totally different perspective. This was one of the pairs of shots – the 135mm first – then the 18mm view of the same tree.
The long shot gives a totally different look to the leaves – against a trees, rather than the wide angle view where the sky forms the background. My one mistake with this challenge was taking a picture of a log washed into the lake – then finding that to get the same perspective I’d have been up to my knees… The camera and lens is weather proof –my shoes not so much.
