Exercise 7: Focal Length and Character.

For this exercise I again used our friend Bill as a subject. For the first picture on the left I used a 17 - 85mm lens set at 17mm and had to physically move in very close to fill the frame with his head. For the second image I moved back but zoomed in to 35 mm to keep the head the same size and similarly with the third image on the right, this time at 85mm. The first photo is very much distorted and not a pleasing effect. The next two are both much better but of the two I prefer the 85mm shot.
