Posted by Ciano https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49467024137_153b76c040_b.jpg So I found this beautiful old quarry, scrambled up the highest cliff on its side, and took this photo. Without that sense of 3D depth perception that you get from looking with your own two eyes, the quarry looks smaller and the vantage point looks lower than it did in real life. I got some close-by tree branches in the foreground, but I just couldn't figure out a way to make the place feel huge. I was using an 18-55 kit lens with my crop-frame-sensor camera, do I just need a full frame and a better lens to get a shallower depth of field and blur those close branches? Should I have stood further back to make the vantage point look higher up relative to ground level? I appreciate any tips, thanks for popping by. |
Posted by Maxxer Power I mean. It looks big. |
Posted by Natchraz Longer focal length if it isn’t hazy around there. |
Posted by Ciano I don't know when you changed your username but it's hilarious. And I'm glad you think it looks big already, that's a nice compliment. So stand further back and zoom for the frame, right? Thanks for the advice. |
Posted by Steed Maybe having something of a familiar scale in the shot would help, like a truck down on what looks like a road on the left bank, or a raft in the water. A bouncy castle would just be fun. Also, looks like Randomesque changed his username back, probably after the name change failed to bring instant YouTube followers. |
