Wide Angle and Close Up Technique

Wide Angle and Close Up Photography

• Wide Angle - The lens used has a focal length which is smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane. This results in a wider shot.
• Close up - The tight framing around an object within a photograph.

To carry out this technique, the camera barrel would need to be on around 18mm and the camera would need to be on manual mode with manual focus. The aperture, shutter speed and ISO could then be adapted dependant on the environment.

The image below illustrates the use of this technique well.
