Honey, just wait for me a little longer. I'm almost home.

Is this photo a composite? In fact, it is a real photograph, not photoshopped or synthesized.

How was it possible to capture a scene like this on a street segment of Yilin 6th Street in Tainan, Taiwan?

To raise awareness about the concept of "telephoto compression," the company shared an explanatory post. Let's start with the concept of "spatial perception." In the physical world, objects appear smaller when they are far away and larger when they are close. This phenomenon becomes more pronounced when using wide-angle lenses. The wider the lens, the more prominent this effect becomes.

Photos that capture this sense of space allow viewers to better experience the environment, providing a feeling of being there in person. But what about "compression"?

On the other end of the spectrum from wide-angle lenses, we have telephoto lenses! When using lenses with focal lengths of 200mm, 300mm, and so on, the "far small, near big" effect mentioned earlier is significantly reduced. Distant objects and nearby objects appear to be "similar in size," creating a compressed effect where distant and nearby elements seem to be brought closer together!

By utilizing telephoto lenses and understanding the principles of telephoto compression, photographers can create stunning images that capture the depth and visual impact of a scene. The photograph of Yilin 6th Street serves as a testament to the remarkable possibilities that arise when we explore different techniques and perspectives in photography.

So, the next time you come across an awe-inspiring photograph, remember that it may be the result of skillful composition and the use of telephoto lenses to achieve that captivating compressed effect.
