Pacific Mall Summer Carnival

移花接木
楼主 (文学城)

Last weekend Toronto Pacific Mall Summer Carnival.  

I only used a 50mm prime lens. A 50mm lens is called a "standard" lens because its focal length, on a 35mm film camera, is roughly equivalent to the diagonal of the sensor or film. This makes its field of view close to what the human eye perceives.  Lenses with focal lengths shorter than 50mm (like 24mm or 35mm) are considered wide-angle and capture a wider field of view, which can make objects in the distance appear smaller. Lenses with focal lengths longer than 50mm (like 100mm or 200mm) are considered telephoto and magnify distant subjects, making them appear larger. 

A photo shot with 50mm lens provides a perspective that closely matches how we naturally perceive the world, gives an immersive feeling.  I like the skin tone out of this lens.

look at ur background vs mine, u shall see urs contains much

wider area, the entire large building is compressed in the frame, only partial in mine, that is different optical effects between wide angle lens and standard lens, telephone lens view angle is even less, also less deformation.

I like the low key Norwegian lady, her vision provide a.....

a guide line of potential interests to viewers. Back lit also hides front interference. 

If you used "the rule of a third" of your composition instead of putting your subject at center it could be a very nice photography work. 16:9 frame ratio, not much leverage to crop.

The tiger statue is a good example of wide angle lens impact. With wide angle deformation, the body  to tail reduced sharply, head is emphasized, adding punch to the expression. A 50mm standard lens won't have such impact but a proper scaled image.

painting is addition, you add to a blank. photography is subtraction, exclude unwanted. Like article, a photo should have a subject, one interest center , not two. Or just like anyone else's photo.

I ran out my inspiration, found my last time touching camera was Jan
