Wide angle close up -Technique

Wide angle closeup photographs are photographs in which the camera is positioned close up to the subject, and the lens if fully zoomed out
. 
This is an example of a wide angle close up image. Due to the lens being close and being taken at a wide angle, there is often some distortion of the image. The wider the lens, the more distorted your subject is going to be.

To achieve a wide angle closeup shot, it is recommended that you use a lens with a focal length of 18mm or less and position your camera 20-30cm away from your subject. A wide aperture may be useful too, as it will create a narrow depth of field for your subject and make sure the area you want to be focused is sharply focused.

  1. a good example and explanation of the characteristics of wide and and close up photography.. you need to create techniques posts using examples of your own images with a description of how the technique was used... you also need to post a progression section within your work diary describing whether you believe the technique could be used in your photography. refer to Qube for further info.
