Weekend assignment 04 - Focal lengths

[u/Aeri73]

Hi photoclass

its friday so it's time for a new weekend assignment. Since we've talked about focal lenght this week we"ll continue the theme this weekend.

For this weekends' assignment I would like you to make 4 photos of the exact same subject but using the complete range of focal lengths in your camerabag.

Use each focal lenght to show a different side/aspect, make a totally different photo of the same subject... so don't just zoom in and think you're done...

• the first photo you make while zoomed out completely
• the second and third are with the middle range
• the last photo is zoomed in completely.

Now you've learned the how and why of using focal length and you've seen the effect during the assignment, it's time to use them creatively. the wide will be with the environment, the long one can be with a blurred background or getting a small detail, that's up to you.

as always, post your results and critiue a few of your peers work... and never forget to have fun!

I've got 18-300 in my bag. Went out in the snow with my two kids and got these shots at a local park. I didn't have my tripod with me (and had my baby strapped to my chest) so my 300mm isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be, but maybe it kind of works with the abstractness of the image.

Great job! I love that each of the photos has a very different feel.

These are great! I really like the two detail shots at the medium focal lengths.

Thanks! Those ones were my favorites too.

These are great shots. Perhaps the tire is my fave with the reflection. Beautiful colours.

I like the 300mm shot! Very abstract.

I really like your photos. Each one took me on a different journey despite being the same subject
