Here's an easy one: get your widest and your longest lenses (I would take my 10-22 at 10 and 100-400 at 400 + x1.4 extender) and then take a shot at the same subject in a way that the said subject fills about same part of the frame in both cases. Please specify focal length (or more:-) and distance from the subject for each shot.
Let's go long (and wide:-)!

    Question. Should this be on the same camera? I'm assuming the answer is yes. I have a lens adapter that allows me to go to .8 of 32mm on one of my cameras, and I have 432mm on another camera.

    Preferably, but no necessary...

    Hmmm...I have three different types of cameras so I'll do it on each. When I get a chance, that is. There's already over a thousand pictures in the que to review. :cry

    I thought the mirror behind the subject would offer some more interesting details about the differences between the wide and long shots.

    Also, I did this assignment since it was near the top of the forum vs. going to #1 or the last one "dashboard"

    Thanks

    Best I could do in the limited space with my son wanting his play room back. Will try to get another one up next week without the background issues.
