Exercise 9:Focal Lengths

This exercise requires me to take 3 to 10 photographs. At each photographs, I will zoom in gradually without moving. Given that I usually only carry a 50mm prime or 24-70mm zoom, so I can really zoom in a large range while find something interesting composition wise. Therefore, I am aiming at 3 shots.


Just for new experience, I try photographing in the Bromley cemetery. I have never thought of photographing at a cemetery, since places like this are considered to be spooky in my country. However, an American friend once told me that she likes to take a walk at cemetery because it is very peaceful. Just for the sake of curiosity, I went there to take a look.


So here are three images gradually zoom in. I want to preserve the tree and the shadow with some tomb stone at side. 

Image 1: 28mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, at 1/250s

Image 2: 44mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, at 1/250s

Image 3: 70mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, at 1/250s

Indeed, if I don't change preceptive, zooming in is the same as using a magnifier.
