There's a name for this effect but I can't remember it. It's the effect you see when you take close up photos of a dog and it stretches the dogs nose out relative to his face. A macro lens will not do this. Does anyone know what the name if this effect is? I used to think it was called "parallax" but I don't think that's the right term.</p></blockquote><p></p>
