wide angle vs. narrow

I thought I might have a decent illustration of this with two photos of the same car. This first is from about 5' away max with a lens setting of about 35mm.

This next one is from much further away with a lense setting of about 100mm.

http://www.autopia.org/gallery/data/...7frontnarr.jpg

You can see that the car looks quite different even though it is the same exact car. I don't know why the color looks different, but it's basically from different lighting. But look at the front bumper. It looks very rounded in the first shot, and very flat in the second. Look how much more of the fenders and side-view mirrors you can see in the second shot.

Hey, why would image code be disabled in a forum about photography?

Great example! I wish I had a wide angle on my digital! I have a 28mm Nikkor that takes wonderful pics.

carguy-sounds like you took the same photography classes I did in college! Great advice, especially concerning depth of field and about how a strong horizon can effectively cut a picture in half.

Very nice pics and discussion. Your knowledge is formidable, indeed .

Your Krispy Kreme shot had some serious barrel distortion at the edges... that's one of my pet peeves when I take a pic with a wide angle lens Otherwise, the other pics are GREAT!
