PART 1: Project: Focal Lengths, Exercise: Focal Lengths

For this exercise, I used a number of focal lengths on the same scene:

From a compositional viewpoint it shows that focal length can be used to isolate parts of a scene to create compositions of parts of the subject in their own right.

Key Learning Points

Isolated compositions using a telephoto lens also need to be valid compositions themselves to produce a good image.

Exposure also needs to be appropriate for the isolated element - it may be different than the overall scene.
