How distant they are from the camera determines their rendering more
than any other element. The lighting is critical as well.
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. :)
