Camera distortion?
The particular camera distortion that happens when a body part is coming towards you.... is there a name for this? In drawing it is 'foreshortening.
Is there a particular setting that helps with this? I have read many times to do portraits on 55 mm - 80 mm. My camera has only a 18-55 mm lens so far- so I feel fairly confident I have to zoom it all the way out to have the proper reading, but for this type of distortion is there something that will help - or is it just a matter of posing?
I have posted some examples of what I am talking about. Perhaps just backing farther away? The hands/feet are just unnaturally huge with the way I took the photos.
Chris Saper! You mentioned to me once that I was getting a distortion and you'd try to get back to me to explain - if you are out there perhaps you can help with this!
