@joansmith7649 10 месяцев назад

I understand this topic, but if you carefully watch the words you spoke during this video, there are references to the lens focal length being the cause of the image compression when you and I both know that the focal length of the lens has zero effect on the apparent compression of the perspective. Instead, it is always only the subject-lens distance, and the proprtions of the subject-lens distance relative to the backround-lens distance. The use of the 85mm lens is not what is causing the background to compress toward the subject and appear to be closer to the subject. Instead, it is simply the fact that at the further subject-lens distance used with the 85mm lens, the distance between the backround and the subject became proportionally smaller relative to the greater subject-lens distance. And this difference in the proportional distances is what is causing the background to appear closer to the subject when using an 85mm lens at a greater distance to the subject than when a 28mm lens is used at a closer distance to the subject. So it is always distance and relative distance, and never the focal length itself that is changing the "look" of the photograph.@@mikesphotography

@@joansmith7649 thanks for your in-depth reply. I make these videos to try and help people understand things I'm photography better, in my spare time, I might not get the wording absolutely correct, but from reading most of the comments... it has helped.

I appreciate your response and I am glad that you and other photographers are helping others with their photography. I am always open to learning new things, so I routinely watch videos on photography. And I have seen so so so many videos that leave photographers wondering about the root cause of perspective effects, that I do feel compelled to leave comments. But that being said, I am grateful for the videos. Thank you.@@mikesphotography

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Great to hear Jamie! It's really worth getting out with a zoom on your camera and then just trying to shoot the same subject in different ways...another one is at a sporting event where the cars/people/bikes/horses are moving around a course or track, then you can just perch up in one spot and then try different lenses at different focal lengths, telephoto lenses for when they are far away and a wide angel when they are closer...my favourite setup for shooting events is a two camera setup, with the 16-35mm and the 70-200mm f2.8 lenses...(way too expensive to buy as I only do a few events every now and then so I just rent those two when I need them 😆). Glad to hear the building in the window example helped! 👍 Thanks for watching. 😁

*The easiest way I've found to explain compression is:* "When you stand further back, you need to "crop/zoom" the entire scene for the object to remain the same size. This makes a smaller part of the background fill the frame, making it look bigger and closer."

@DDHDTV 11 месяцев назад

This was ground breaking for me. Been shooting for years but what I had in mind was Longer focal length = compression. So often I said "oh I need the tele for that awesome compression" But the real thing is perspective. You could get the same compression by using something likw a 30mm and crop in all the way until it matches like a 200mm, of course that inly works theoretically cause youd normally wouldn't have enough megapixel, but it still changes the way I'll shoot in the future. For example you'd could go with a wuper high megapixel camera and crop in from an 85 instead of bringing that 70-200. I always was under the impression, that 200 would have a different "compression"

@paulm8157 3 года назад

Cogent explanation w/instructive graphics atop side by side photos👍. Had general understanding but only in terms of focal length. OK, now for the “fun” part: Thought “lens compression” is what you were illustrating at start of vid when you were standing on your camera bag - smushed lenses inside. “Relative distance” is about keeping mooching relatives at bay😁. Kidding aside, will have to experiment with distance factor. Crowd compression you illustrated has been used in news clips to exagerate protest crowd sizes.

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Thanks very much Paul! Haha!! Yep, gotta keep that camera bag close by...and also use it as a reference point so I know where to stand!! 😆 That's a prime example of how this is used to tell a certain story...many groups of people can be shown to be huge by shooting at a low angle on a long lens, or by shooting wide, and making the place look more sparse...like smaller crowds in-front of the Whitehouse 4 years ago!! 😆😆😆 It's well worth going out and experimenting with a zoom lens with different subjects. As always thanks for watching and commenting dude, much appreciated. 😁👍

@philipandreicuk5356 3 года назад

I use this technique at race meetings by zooming as the cars are coming round a bend you can make them appear closer than they really are which gives a more dramatic effect to your images

@mirabellebarim9997 3 года назад

Best explanation tonight 👏 I’m here bcz someone posted a picture of the blood moon the other day and it was huge like wow type of moon and the person said it wasn’t photoshopped so curious as I am I wanted to see if the moon was actually that big in Australia then someone comment on a video that is a cam technique now it makes more sense thank you!! 🤗

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Thanks very much Mirabel! Yes, sometimes it can looked photoshopped when the moon is huge in the frame. You just need a really really long telephoto lens. 600mm on a full frame camera will get it quite big in the frame, but something like an 800-1000mm works even better without cropping the final photo. Out of curiosity, do you have a link to the photo you saw? Sometimes people say it is one photo, but they do photoshop them ... so it would be interesting to see it as the blood moon can be tricky to shoot in one shot. Thanks for watching 😁👍

@photosbyjames_ 21 день назад

Awesome video and explanation mike! a have a question, if you are shooting a subject at 70mm, would the image look identical using 24-70mm and a 70-200mm? based on your video, i'm assuming yes as the distance remains the same as you arent changing the focal length nor distance to subject.

@InfraredVisuals 3 года назад

I have basic to intermediate knowledge on lens compression but a video based on how much further you should place your camera from your subject to get a natural result without getting any distortion would be really helpful, for an example if you're at 24mm on a full frame camera you should keep X distance from your subject to get the natural result without having too much distortion and so on. Thank you.

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip for a future video, I'll make a note of that. Thanks for watching 😁👍

@Olearius Год назад

Hi Mike, thank’s for this great video. I know most people say that the compression effect is distance related and not a matter of focal length. But I have a question: When I compare your shot with the 17 mm lens (0:22) to that with the 85 mm lens (0:26), the latter one seems compressed to me although you didn’t change the camera to subject distance. In the 85 mm shot I have the impression that you are nearer to me as the viewer, also the tree in the background seems nearer tot he viewer and also the distance from you to the tree seems shorter (compared tot he 17 mm shot). As said, you didn’t change the distance you only changed focal length to get this compression. So in my opinion there is indeed a direct causal link to focal length, independant of distance. What do you think?

@RubenSainiuc 3 года назад

Great understanding of compression! (Maybe it was worth mentioning that this has nothing to do with the jpeg or video compression algorithms.) I just put a 100-400mm on my wishlist for aps-c (it would act as 150-600mm on a full frame, if I calculated correctly), so I can achieve greater compression amounts. And also to not scare the distant birds. 🐦

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Is lens compression the same as cropping using an editing software?

@mikesphotography 10 месяцев назад

No. Compression is created by changing your relative position in relation to the subject and the distance to the background. Cropping does not change any of these distances.

@Alukardo13 3 года назад

compression at 50mm at the crop is equal to compression at 75mm at a full frame, if you shoot from one place?

Yes, that is correct. If you shoot from one location with any lens and crop in to the same framing, the compression won't change. 👍

You face was heavily distorted when you compared 17mm to 85.

@mikesphotography 3 года назад

Yep, that's one of my points in this video. When you move away from your subject and use a longer focal length, you compress the features of the face, but when you come closer and use a wide angle lens, it stretches out the features, and at that extreme focal length, it distorts... Thanks for watching 😁👍
