The idea here is simple.

Take a shot with your widest focal length lens, then, change lenses and
WITHOUT MOVING YOUR FEET...
shoot something with your longest focal length lens, that's within the frame of the first shot.

Reasoning:
To get you using what you have.
To help others see the relative fields of view of FF & crop cameras plus lenses.
To see the differences in IQ, flare, colour, contrast, saturation, DoF, etc., under the same lighting conditions.

Rules:
NO CROPPING AT ALL - this is important.
Please just do minor adjustments. No unsharp-masks.
If you own but one prime lens...sorry, you can't play.
If you own but one zoom lens, please use it at it's widest and then longest position.
Please state the lens(es) used.
If you own a teleconverter, you have to use it on your longest lens!
The shots don't need to be masterpieces - my intro' pair simply got me thinking....but hopefully we can all progress a bit as time goes by.
Cheers!
Simon

Ok - first shot is after my lunch near a local supermarket using EF-S10-22 at 10mm (16mm FF equiv.)
Second shot is of the entrance to the car park (near the base of the electricity pylon - top left) using 100-400L plus Kenko 1.4x TC with taped pins, AI-servo mode (896mm FF equiv!)

I don't get it... I thought you were supposed to take a second photo from the same position (without moving your feet) but with a different lens. These two photos are from different positions (????)

Cool idea! I might be going to the zoo tomorrow, so I can easily do a 10mm shot (with my Xsi) and then a 400mm shot with my 100-400 on my 40D. Let's hope it doesn't rain in Southeastern, PA tomorrow.....

WRONG!
See how the perspective is confusing?
I was sat on a low wall in some shade and shot across the plaza. I honestly didn't move an inch for the second shot. But going from 16mm to 896mm (FF equiv.) changes the angle so dramatically that you presumed I'd moved!
Fun isn't it!

EDIT: I just peeked closer at my second shot, and you can even see the pylon's legs and yellow warning sign - to the left of the old lady's sun-umbrella.

Err, from Uniqlo I think (a Japanese clothing-chain store) - groovy huh?
;)

Here is a comparison. Less extreme range than first example.

40D. 24 f/1.4 L lens compared to 85 f/1.8 lens.


- B
40D and a few lenses.
