Telephoto compression...


The fine, spring weather continues over the south coast, so I elect to concentrate my energies photographing local architecture. Rather than adopt the usual approach and use a wide angle lens, I opt for a telephoto and dig out my 300mm f/4 lens. Long lenses have the ability of being able to appear to compress perspective, making things seem closer to each other than they actually are. The image of the late Victorian house terrace that overlooks Boscombe pier demonstrates this perfectly.
