Focal Length (Zoom VS. telephoto)
Wide Angle (18mm-ish) |
Things in the background look farther away and smaller.
It gives greater depth-of-field: background will be sharper It gives greater field of view: you can fit more into the frame. |
|
|
|
Telephoto (75mm-ish)
|
things in the background look closer. telephoto zoom is mean for portraits.
it gives more shallow depth-of-field: background will be blurrier. smaller field-of-view: will help cut out unwanted stuff on the edge of the frame. Allows you to stand farther back from your subject (less awkward). |
