The quirks and distortions of photography

Actually, I thought of a more dramatic example to show how focal length/distance-to-subject changes the relationship of foreground to background. It’s a film effect called the dolly zoom or the “Hitchcock effect.” Basically, what you’re doing here is starting with a wide shot and then zooming IN while moving back (on a camera dolly) so that the size of your subject remains relatively constant in the frame.

Neat. I had never seen it like that before.
