Why is that?
In a video on kelbytraining.com, New York photographer Jay Meisel put forward the interesting theory that each of us sees things differently. One person looks with his eyes as if a telephoto lens was screwed in front of his head, the other looks more like a wide angle lens in front of his eye.
I've thought about this theory for a long time and I think I'm taking a broad view. I even think my portrait, which I took with a 600mm focal length, looks kind of wide-angle.
How do you see?
I can't decide on a point of view yet. Like so many things, I think it depends on your form on the day. Sometimes I can't do anything with a tele(view) and other days I can't do without it.
Hello
Nils
Do you mean that some people pay more attention to details, others pay more attention to the big picture?
Or how do you know how to look?
I don't think it has anything to do with details or the overall picture, but rather with perception. What do you see when you look? And when you see something interesting, how do you photograph it?
