Exercise: Focal Lengths

I finally got out last weekend to Tommy Thompson Park which is a spit of land that sticks out into Lake Ontario, East of the city centre.  It is also a bird sanctuary so I was hoping to catch sight of owls etc.  It was also a nice place to concentrate on my exercises for Part 1 and I tried to catch up on a few of them during the day.

The first exercise to complete was on different focal lengths.  .  It is easy to see that as the focal length increases the angle of view decreases but the actual subject is just a magnified portion of the wide angle shot.  I took a series of shots using my 70-300mm lens at 70mm, 100mm, 140mm, 200mm, 270mm and 300mm
