Focal length is one of the most overlooked creative tools in photography. Understanding and using it appropriately will dramatically improve the impact of any image - because focal length changes the mood and feel of your images as it dances hand in hand with composition.
The top image is a landscape with a boat in it. The one below is a boat - in a landscape.
Choice of focal length is the only difference between the two, but what it says is reversed.
Long lenses do more than make far off things come closer, they exclude clutter, isolate the subject within (or from) it's surroundings and give a bystander feeling to an image.
Wide angle or 'short' lenses do more than pack lots of scenery into a landscape, they push backgrounds further away, give you the most depth of field, stretch reality and give images a feeling of intimacy.
In this webinar, we'll explore these characteristics, how to use them to revolutionise your imagery, where to focus, infinity and why you sometimes cannot get a shallow depth of field, regardless of aperture used. We'll go through many examples and the reasons why a particular focal length was used.
