Close up: A photograph taken at close range or with a long focal-length lens. Usually close up photographs only focus on one thing.
This photograph is an example of a close up photograph because it is only focused on the frogs eye, meaning it has a very small depth of field. I like this photograph because of the use of colour, red and green are opposite on the colour wheel and the two are so different, it makes the photograph more interesting to look out, in addition to this the colours are very bright which also attracts the eye, if the photograph was dull colours I wouldn't be as interested in it.
This is another example of close up photography, I really love this because you can see all the individual raindrops on the ladybird, with the naked eye, you wouldn't see in this much detail. And again the use of red and green really attracts the eye, along with the black which is very bold in contrast.
Wide angle: A wide angle lens is a lens which has a small focal-length compared to the focal length of a normal lens.
This photograph is a great example of how wide angle can distort the subject of a photograph, the head of the goat would not be this big in real life compared to the body, personally I think this is a good effect, it makes the goat the main subject of the photograph, your eyes aren't really distracted much so the goat is the only thing you look at.
This is another example of wide angle photography, this photograph is really nice because it centres on the building in the centre and it is very symmetrical due to the lights on either side of the building. I love how this looks however personally I probably wouldn't try this this term because I want to focus on people for now.
To create this effect you have to use your camera at its most zoomed out, which for my camera lens is 18mm, I also made sure that everything was in focus, this doesn't look as good as it would if I had a specific wide angle lens, although I think it worked pretty well for a normal lens.
