[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 541730, member: 12496"] I guess you can take it either way, but I meant scene objects, meaning photography shows scene objects (I imagine scene implies seen, or at least to be seen.) We might have a goal to distort or undistort the scene that will be seen (leaning walls for example), but normally, the goal is to show the scene we see (we should not distort it simply because we were too dumb to know to stand back a little. :) ). Whatever lens we use, wide angle or telephoto, all the lens can do is to see and show the scene we aim it at. Where we stand is all that determines the perspective of what the lens sees there, and then that view is all that the lens can show, regardless of which lens it is. Perspective is NOT about the lens, it is only about where we stand, what is seen there at that location. But the lens can influence where we have to stand. [/QUOTE]
