[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 541726, member: 13090"] *confused look* "Scene" objects or SEEN objects? Just as is it important to know words can have different meanings, so is it important to understand the same word, spelled differently, has a different meaning altogether. But as for understanding what Perspective is, and too put this to rest in my own mind I found three photography instructors standing around doing very little between classes and asked them about this. The two gentlemen both have MFA's and over thirty years of teaching photography between them. Melinda recently defended her PhD and has been teaching photography and photo journalism for twenty years. I asked the three of them what perspective means as it relates to photography. They all three agree; it has to do with representing, or communicating, volumes and spatial relationships of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane. When I asked about field of view I was told, "Those are two different things..." So in, short, I'm agreeing with you here and going further by saying I don't think this is a matter of opinion; it appears it's a matter of fact. Field of view and perspective ARE two different things. [/QUOTE]
