Focal length and tiny backyards

Hello my name is Kimberley, last night was horrendously green.

I got told to say that here. We had a party at my flat last night. Most of R's and A's classes turned up. Dan and Virat and RJ turned up from my classes. It was a really good night, with all the green lightbulbs around it created a quite mythical celtic sense so everybody was doing highland dances and being silly.

Anyway, I woke up about 11:30 and wandered on down to see one or two people still here waiting for a feed from the ever wonderful A. After standing there blinking the sand from my eyes I had a sudden realisation. "SHIT. My cinematography homework!!" I then proceeded to grizzle about Patrick and homework and Patrick, but not in a mean way, dude. Just like "Ughhh he does that silly Dr Evil finger to the mouth thing all the time" "Yes Kimberley, you've only told us that about 500 times".

Anyway, seeing as my wonderfully brilliant best friend who will do anything for me, wouldn't sit in a chair and have their photo taken for my homework, I grabbed Shanon and took her photo. I had to take two different photos, five times, at different focal lengths, at both a close up and a mid shot. Midshot. These aren't midshots!! UGH COME ON KIMBERLEY *smacks forehead*

Okay there you go. I took some photos. I have the feeling that the background is supposed to be getting blurrier and blurrier. My backyard is a tiny wee thing. Almost like and English backyard in the city. Such a cute little thing it is. So really because that didn't work out there isn't much difference in the photos, even though at the start I was half a foot from her face, and by the end of it, I was half back inside the lounge.

Good bye beautiful humans, I can smell bacon, not yours, but mine. I hope you have a brilliant rest on Sunday. Later on I think I might go watch Tron Legacy and kill both my Audio homework and Screenwriting homework at the same time.

  1. You have provided CUs and MCUs, but at least you are completely consistent in your composition/framing throughout the different range of lens. You can see the FOV diminishing through this sequence of photos, but as you've suggested, the lack of space means that there isn't much perceptible difference in DOF.
    Thank you
