Focal length- Technique

By adjusting the focal length of your camera you can alter the subjects size in the final image.

Focal Length- the distance between the centre of a lens or the curved mirror and its focus.


Field of View- What can be seen. This is determined by the angle of view from the lens to the scene. It can be measured either horizontally or vertically.

Wide Angle- Involves having a short focal length and therefore a field covering a wide angle.

Standard Lens- A camera lens with a focal length which is around equal to the diagonal of the negative. This will give a field of view which is similar to real life for the naked eye. In 35mm photography, lenses with a focal length of 50mm are seen as normal as they work without reducing or magnifying.

Telephoto- A lens with a longer focal length than standard, gives a narrow field of view and a magnified final image.

  1. good Emma I like the graphic, again extend yourself by explaining the consequences of shooting at different focal lengths for example distort, depth of field. YOU NEED TO DEVELOP YOU ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING (ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE 1)

  2. please update all of your posts through additional annotation, equipment used and why. add supplementary images ... you need to think of your target grade..
