Wide Angle and Close Up:
Wide angle: A wide angle lens is a lens which has a small focal-length compared to the focal length of a normal lens.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 is an example of the technique, you can do it on anything, people, animals, or plants and objects, though personally I think it works best on people because you can see much better how it has distorted it.14mm, 20mm 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm are good lengths for wide angle close up photography
When I took photographs using wide angle, we used our normal cameras and just experimented using the camera settings on the smallest focal length, this didn't work very well but the photograph I took of Ellie is quite good and I'd like to experiment with this technique again as it was quite interesting, I would like to use an actual wide angle lens and take photographs of people to see how much it distorts them.
This is the best photograph from the wide angle shoot, I think that it definitely shows wide angle, the subjects face is slightly distorted but not as much as the example photograph at the top of this post.
This is my worst photo from this shoot, it doesn't show any distortion and it just looks like I was practising depth of field, I think that this is a very boring photo and it probably doesn't help that the object I took the photo of is see through.
If I was to do this again I would use an actual wide angle lens because I don't think that this lens worked very well, although I did the best I could with what I had in the lesson.
