COMM 3530 Assignment: Tight

Shooting tight is great when you want to get in close to something or someone that is far away. You can really get away with a lot, because most people don't notice you when you are that far away. I also like how you can crop things in a tight shot, so they really look cramped.

But what I don't like is that the frame is limited in what you can see. Sometimes I found that I wanted to zoom out to see more of the frame for a better composition, but I had to force myself to use the limited 200mm and 300mm view on the lenses I was using. So in many cases I was moving around all over the place to get the frame I wanted.

Lenses Used:
Tamron XR Di 2, AF 18-200mm, F3.5-6.3
Nikon Nikkor DX, AF 55-300mm, F4.5-5.6

I also noticed that when I was outside, there was plenty of light for the lens. But when I was shooting inside the Jennings Building, there was not enough light and I had to push the ISO in some cases to 3200 or 6400 to get the shot I wanted because I didn't have a tripod with me.

Here is my take.
