The lighting is critical as well.
I'm going to sit down with a roll of film, a bag of lenses, and my tripod in the near future and take the same set of images over, and over, and over again with each lens just to get a feel for what does what.. I'll post to the net when I'm complete, in case its of note to anyone. I'm hoping to find a fence line so that it recedes, and I can take it at an angle and watch it fade outk, but we'll see what I can turn up. Figure on eahc lens wide open and closed up two stops (so that it uses teh aperature blades and not just the barrel of the lens), at the extremes of each lens and perhaps in the middle, as well. It should proove to be a collossal waste of time and film. :) -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
