LONG: Hamilton Beach House

LONG: Hamilton Beach House, photo by Mary Stebbins. This shot includes a lot of foreground and background. The scenery is part of the shot. Visit IMAGIK to see a similar but closer shot taken on a different day. Both shots are LONG, but the other one is closer. There is a gradation between close, medium and long shots of course.

I hope you will post your examples here. And perhaps submit another lesson. This is a new blog. I hope it gets off the ground.
