Lecture 15: Cameras and Lenses (29)

This article by Nikon (https://bit.ly/2zm0YQx) takes a deeper dive into focal length. The way the article is written suggests it's more oriented towards photographers, but they discuss many principles that echo the conclusion in this slide. There's also a couple pretty cool side by side picture comparisons demonstrating the difference between similar shots with varying focal length. The tl;dr is that Nikon demonstrates how as focal length gets shorter, the angle of view becomes wider and magnification decreases

Note differences of the model's face in different pictures. It seems the face gets more "compressed" as the focal length increases.

As focal length increases, the depth of field decreases — we can see this by comparing the background of the 16mm photo with the 200mm photo.
