For anyone who needs to hear it: photography is not an objective view of reality. A photo of you is biased by the lens and many other factors.if a photo causes you to feel dysphoria, it does *not* mean that that’s how you are perceived in an everyday environment.

@maddiefuzz I remember hearing something about how front-facing smartphone cameras apparently requiring quite a good bit of distance from the user (certainly longer than arm's reach) if one is hoping to correct for the distortion owing to the size of the lens(?), which I think about a lot.

@republic2809 @maddiefuzz I usually find myself trekking a good bit backwards when trying to take a smartphone photo, it didn't seem to take as much walking with actual cameras.

I’m reposting this publicly, so that anyone who needs to hear it, sees this post.Even if you only compare focal length, which is a characteristic of the lens, you will get very different results.Photography is not an objective view of reality.Smart phone focal lengths are generally unkind.

@maddiefuzz True.Aperture also has an impact, though not as much as focal length.

@tk @maddiefuzz 50mm is gold standard portrait focal length, right? people should get more photos taken of themselves with a 50mm

@void @maddiefuzz @tk I have a Sigma Art 35mm f1.4 on my A6400 which is APS-C and so it behaves like a native ~50mm and takes fantastic photos

@maddiefuzz@hackers.town 43mm is how the human eye perceives the world, for reference. Somewhere in-between 35mm and 50mm.

@feld @maddiefuzz @tk Not surprised at all. Before getting my 50mm I was rolling 16-35mm & 24-120, added a 35-70mm a bit later (which I also love a lot, it's an old Nikkor from the 80s), but I almost never use them now, I just roll with the 50mm. Works for almost any situation.I used the 16-35 back a couple of weeks ago to visit a museum tho, there the 50mm would have been bad.Plus, fixed focal lenght gives us bigger stops, which is always cool <3 that sweet blur at f1.4 <3

@tk @maddiefuzz @feld for a 35mm camera yes. For a 6x6 like the Hasselblad, nearer 85mm. Not sure how it works with digitals.

@feld @tk @maddiefuzz 85mm is gold standard, 50 is considered "normal" for most photography but not great for portraits.

@feld @tk @maddiefuzz when I worked as a photographer I recall 50mm being considered the best "neutral" focal length with longer lenses 85-300 being better for portraiture.

@revjorobertson @tk @maddiefuzz 85mm if your goal is to have your subject in focus but the background blurred out I guess, yeah, I would agree.I'm not a huge fan of that style of photography though

@feld @tk @maddiefuzz 50mm is something I would, typically, use for environmental portraits...which is very different from portraiture. The way to think of this is that, at least in terms of what Madeline is illustrating with that great illustration of the impact of focal length, is that your distance to the subject is an important piece of how somebody appears in the picture. The closer you get to the person, the larger the ratio between the distance from the camera to the tip of their nose and the distance from the camera to their eyes; in other words, the closer the camera is to the person, the more exaggerated their nose will appear. The farther away you are, the smaller their nose will appear. If you're standing, say, 10' away from the subject(s), it doesn't matter if you're shooting an environmental/group portrait with a 50mm lens or a 135mm lens to get a tighter portrait, their facial features are going to have about the same ratio.Because selfies are normally shot very close, they emphasis facial features in a way that's not flattering.

@revjorobertson @feld @tk @maddiefuzz Is it really nowadays ? Given the quality of sensors you can easily crop to get closer ? (noob photographer, but very happy of my 50mm for portraits-- however, I realize I frequently crop them)

@void @tk @feld @maddiefuzz Not about the crop (I could always move closer to my subject). It's about distortion. Different shaped glass (35mm vs 50mm vs 85 or 100mm) simply bend the light differently. It tends to be most noticeable with people (because things closer like the end of the nose get exagerated at small mms) or architecture because the bending of light (and therefore lines in walls/etc) are more obvious. At lot can be fixe din post, not all.

@feld @tk @maddiefuzz I'm a macro fan so 90mm macro and blurry background is my JAM. But it is less about the blurry background than about how features are distorted or not and what looks *most pleasing* to folks. 🤷♀️ Preferences vary, rules of thumb are meant to be broken. ;)

@feld @tk @maddiefuzz I'd phones love phones to be 50mm by default. I loved my old nifty-fifty on my Canon. You actually had to move to compose a photo. I suppose having the shorter focal length stops people falling into canyons, train tracks and various types of holes but can be very unkind.

@revjorobertson @feld @maddiefuzz Since we're talking #photography here, do any of you have suggestions on taking photos in the rain, without having one's lens getting all covered with raindrops? I'm using lens hoods, but some of the hoods I have don't do much about rain.My lenses and camera are all splash resistant, by the way.

@onebiskuit @tk @maddiefuzz @feld well, even with 35 mm-equivalents, 50 mm is basically the most "realistic" in terms of approximating the perspective of the human eye, but somewhere around to 80 mm is more flattering for portraits (subject to taste).

@kino Aye.In Lens terms, our vision is equivalent to a 43mm focal point on a 35mm full frame sensor.Or ~28mm on an APS-C sensor (just putting it here for the APS-C users).@maddiefuzz

@maddiefuzz the easiest way to get a nice portrait pic on a phone is to zoom in to about 2x and step away from the subjectThat way you get around a 50mm equivalent focal lens, pretty good for portraits

@DearFox @maddiefuzz Это конечно круто, но именно для этого и нужно отойти от субъекта. Искажение субъекта идет не от самого фокусного расстояния, а от расстояния от субъекта до объектива.Можете это проверить в домашних условиях на фронтальной камере телефона, сделайте фото на разных дистанциях (от 10см до пары метров), кропните их так чтобы ваше лицо занимало одинаковую область в кадре, и посмотрите на искажения. Физические свойства линзы никак не менялись, а перспектива все равно меняется.

@DearFox @maddiefuzz в качестве примера приведу две фотографии сделанные на одну и ту же линзу (родное фокусное расстояние 24мм, остальные линзы на смартфоне были заклеены для чистоты эксперимента), но с разного расстояния с разным зумом.Фото номер один сделано практически в упор, на нем видно как сильно зубная щетка на переднем плане «вылезает» вперед вместе со стаканом и всеми остальными предметами.Фото номер два сделано с расстояния в примерно 60см, (продолжение в треде)

@DearFox @maddiefuzz (продолжение) ..,на нем заметно что зубная щетка больше не выпирает из кадра, а принт на краях стакана виден чуть дальше, да и сам стакан стал заметно площе.Напоминаю что оба фото сделаны на одну и ту же линзу без изменения ее физических характеристик, единственные две переменные это кроп и расстояние до субъекта. При этом они все еще показывают изменение перспективы, так же как и смена фокусного расстояния То же самое работает не только на зубных щетках, но и на людях.

@Revertron @astrr @maddiefuzz рыбий глаз это объектив с очень маленьким фокусным расстоянием И он в целом создаёт артефакты на перспективе (ровные линии становятся изогнутыми к краям изображения )
