"Error Mimicking" ... or Lens Compression

One of the things I want you to see in your next assignment is the effect of lens compression and expansion - particularly how using telephoto lenses will appear to compress the world into a smaller, flatter realm. 


Over on Mike Johnston's The Online Photographer blog, he has a great post that talks about the illusion of "error mimicking" - in this case, when lens compression leads people to believe an image has been altered through Photoshop.

I saw that photo on the photoshop disasters site. That is impressive that it was lens compression, but now that you mention it, it is easy to tell.
