The two images above illustrate what happens to the background when the main subject is close to the same size in the frame. \u00a0The top image made with the 16mm the background recedes, so it is smaller. \u00a0In the second image directly above, the background is compressed or pulled in to fill more of the frame. This is why you need both a long lens and short lens, as an artist you can decide how to use the background.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So let’s give it another try. \u00a0I have a little Route 66 license plate and some colored felt tip markers on my desk that get used often for a little light, hand held shooting, and testing. \u00a0Below we have another 16mm vs 90mm example. \u00a0This time \u00a0you decide which is from which lens, kind of a test on seeing if the concept is coming through!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you given it some thought? \u00a0The bottom shot is the 16mm, see how much larger the felt tip pens appear, that is because the lens is closer to the pens when the image was made, making them appear more dominant. \u00a0The shot on top is the 90mm and the pens are normal in appearance in relation to the license plate. \u00a0As the visual artist you can use these differences to make your statement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now lets take both lenses and stand in the same place, my great room of my home. \u00a0the 16mm takes in most of the room, the 90mm just one lamp. This is the other reason or multiple focal lengths. \u00a0Sometimes we can’t physically get closer or back up enough. \u00a0This is when we have to move “optically”!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think you can see that two different, very different lenses can really bring versatility to your camera bag and your work. \u00a0Learning the way your gear works will make you a better image maker!!!!<\/p>\n

Did I mention just how sharp the 90mm truly is!!!!!!<\/p>\n
