This is like taking a college course of things you may be aware of, but he completely understands all of the details to illustrate the point. Love this
This video is exactly why I said in a comment a day or so ago on a different video of yours that your videos are some of my favorites, or my absolute favorites, on photography. This is an outstanding illustration of the compression effect, along with a very understandable explanation of why it occurs. I thought I understood it before, but after watching this video it "clicked" in my brain even more. Thanks Mads!
Lots of points to remember going forward elucidated with easy to understand in depth explanation. Have subscribed and am looking forward to exploring your channel. Your shots are absolutely gorgeous and im excited to learn from someone with such an eye. Cheers
Excellent Mads. I've never come across a better explanation of the effects of using a telephoto lend for landscapes. Thanks a lot for explaining all that so lucidly.
As always, the best photo landscape videos on UA-cam. Thanks again Peter for sharing you extensive knowledge and personal insights. I only have about a dozen videos in my 'watch again' folder - this is now one of them.
Maybe the best instruction video of this subject I have ever seen. Now I am going to have to go back and look at your other videos. Thank you so much for increasing my photography knowledge. Can't wait to get out and try some of this.
This video provides the best explanation of the optical illusion of compression that I’ve ever heard and used some beautiful shots for demonstration. Thank you!
It's a bit pedantic though, don't you think? The illusion that he talks about is exactly what people mean when they use the term compression. A telephoto does make the distances between objects appear to be more compressed. That being said, it's an excellent video, I just found it funny him talking about how compression isn't a thing, then showing exactly what photographers mean when they say compression.
I've just got my 70-200 f2.8 and I am very grateful for this video! You have opened up a whole new world of photography for me! So many stories to create and share... Again, thank you for this one!
You were a big help to me tonight, wanted to get a shot of the super moon at a local historical site and wanted to use a long lens. have very little experience with a long lens and night photography.Thanks, on my way.
I appreciate you bringing up compression, it seems to be a commonly touted misconception. It's not the lens itself, as you say, it's about the distance between you and your subject relative to the background and the effect happens only if the distance between you and your subject changes to compensate.
Learned a lot from this video, and regret that the 70-200 was one of the first lenses in my stash that I resold. Going to get a new one this week, though. Loved seeing Iceland in your photos...hope to come back one day.
This focal length range is gold and best for landscape. I bought the Sony zeiss 16-35 f4 thinking it will be a good landsacape and architecture lens which it is . But I think the 70-200 open up my creativity more. That's it. I am not saving up for any more lens now except the 70-200 mm .
I love my 70/200 2.8 Il from canon, but now you gave me different idea how I can use it. I was doing portraits only with it. Thank you! I follow and learn from your skills and passion.
Thank you Mads ! You are a good teacher. As a amateur, I’ve begun to incorporate your instructions in my photos, with pleasing results! Would love to see more photos from Denmark. My paternal grandfather was born there. Your photos give me a sense of connection to my family history. Thank you so much!
The compression effect occurs when you make the object or foreground the same size in the frame despite different focal lengths. Just zooming in is just cropping. The best way I find to explain it is the classic moon and church spire photograph. If you fill the frame using a wide angle lens with the spire, the moon will be a tiny point of light. If you stand far away from the spire and zoom in to again fill the frame, the spire will be the same size, but now the moon will have increased in size in the image and appear much closer to the spire. Basically, instead of standing close to the subject with the background far away, you’ve stood far from the subject and zoomed in, with the unavoidable effect that you’ve also zoomed into the background.
Your first sentence isn't always true. In your example of the moon and spire, it's true that you can create compression by moving farther away and using a longer focal length, but you could also do the exact opposite by moving closer and using a shorter focal length to keep the spire the same size. That's not a criticism of your description, but a comment on how easy it is to be inaccurate when trying to explain it briefly. The most important point is that compression is a function of our perception that results from perspective (in the artistic and spatial sense) and composition rather than from focal length. A long lens captures a narrower field of view, but with the same perspective as a wider lens, because perspective results from our observation point. Changing our observation point in any direction changes our perspective, and therefore the apparent position of everything in your field of view. Changing distance along the straight line between any two objects changes the relative distance between those objects and that changes the perceived distance between the objects. The real distance between the objects can remain the same, but by increasing our distance from the nearer subject we perceive the background as being closer to the foreground subject.
What you describe is a change of perspective, which happens when you change the point of view. You get the illusion of compression by cropping/zooming without changing the point of view.
The illusion of compression totally makes sense and I just learned something new today. I just subbed love your way of teaching and the format of examples and the way you lay it all out. Thank you Mads 🙏
Exquisite landscape photography, learnt so much about composing and exposure technique that gave impetus to these charming photographs! Looking forward to know more about exploitation of landscape techniques!
Very informative. I just bought a Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 for my Nikon F mount DSLRs. Was mainly using for sports, but going to practice now on landscapes and get more out of the lens.
Wow what a brilliant explanation of the value of the 70 - 200 telephoto. I've had one for years for use at music events but I can't wait to get out into the landscape and use it! Thanks so much for this informative video!!
Nice and informative video. I don't see any difference between someone saying it compresses the scene and you saying it gives the illusion of compression. Everyone knows the objects in the scene do not physically move so they know the compression is only in the image. If cropping gives the illusion of compression and people call it compression I'm not really sure what the difference is. Anyway best of luck to you
@@ForrestWest I know it's hard to believe, but there are actually people out there who thinks it's the lens that does the magic, that's why I make that distinction.
Your video is so inspirational and motivating. What a refresher, much appreciated. I just got a Canon r6 mark 2, along with some sweet lenses. Heading out to SW United States to test out the great expanses Wild West. Keep up the great work!
Hard to understand some 70 persons dislike what is actually a real masterclass about how to get the most from a specific piece of gear. Maybe they know better ? If so, they should produce tutorials, or else... just switch off their computer. And their brain ! Mads... you've produced an immensely useful video, with not only tips but also artistic arguments and accurate exemples from your own work (among the very best I've ever seen in some 45 years of photografic activity). Thank you !!! (is the most obvious that comes to my mind). PS : and yes... I've used tele-lenses a lot in my landscape photography, it is a major tool in many situations.
There are many of us that are hearing handicapped and better accessibility to your work by having captioning available would be a great addition to your work.
Thank you Mads for another very informative video of how to differentiate between zooming/cropping and compressing of your compositions - great video :)
Great video, as usual. I appreciate your use of examples to explain your concepts, significantly adds to my understanding. Comprehensive and not too long.
Funny how big youtubers like PeterMck and digital rev didn’t make sense to a lot ppl. This video explains everything in detail. Give this dude a shout out!! Amazing video!!!! Hats off to your efforts and work
Thank you for this video. I just recently bought my first Sony camera, a6100, and the one and only lens I chose was the Sony 70-200mm zoom. This video is very helpful. I am learning a lot from diving into your teaching of photography and equipment you use. Again, thank you.
Thank you. Your channel is truly one of the most useful, informative and helpful for those of us who aspire to capture better travel images wherever we go.
Hello Mads! I am just waiting for my new to me 70-200 f2.8 VRi lens to clear customs and this video caught my eye. Excellent discussion on the topic during which I my decision to purchase the lens was reinforced and you showed my how to quickly integrate the new lens into my photography. Thanks for sharing, comment, like and sub for you today. Cheers from BC!
I’m visiting Iceland early May for two days on my way to Scotland and I will be sure to include my remote shutter release to include myself in some long tele photos. Great photos, I’ve just subscribed to your channel and will check out your other videos.
This was awesome. Rarely do you find a video purely focused on highlighting how to add to what you're trying to portray in your art. Honestly, I feel like I should have had pay you for this class.
Great video Mads, and very timely - I've recently purchased a 2x convertor to use with my Sony 70-200 F2.8 and am just exploring how to use it for landscape shots. Thanks for the advice, most helpful.
Good point on using a telephoto lens to bring details out when you are traveling. I used to think landscape photos were only taken with wide angle lens. Good video
This video gave me goose bumps, the photographs combined with the Mass Effect style music just made me completely zone out of what you were saying, your photos look like someone exploring an alien world, it made me feel small and humbled i feel guinely emotional wtf 🤣🤣🤣
Once again Mads a well thought out and presented video.. that helps those with questions gain further knowledge in this sometimes baffling world of lens...have seriously loved your series on the Faroe Islands and all of the majestic landscapes ....still waiting to be explored...looking forward to your coming videos and the thoughts shared within...stay blessed
Thank you Mads! Awesome video, you brought up some points I had not considered before. Thank you for making this video, your photography is an inspiration!
Thank you for the very informative video on this subject. Being fairly new to photography (18 months) this helps me understand so many things I have never thought about learning and I have watched or read many different topics on photography. This now will be of great help in understanding long lenses and how they perform especially when in the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada where I live. I hope to now watch more of your video tutorials and see what else I can learn from you. Matthew from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
Thank you! Another outstanding tutorial. I appreciate your time and talent shared with us. You represent the community of education quite well. Thanks again.
All your images are awesome, but I really like the one with the sheep in the foreground and the house on the other side of the water to provide the scale. I can't argue that a person in the image is important to show scale and you do a great job of composing those shots (i.e. the person is looking at the focal point rather than elsewhere and usually has their back or side to the camera so as not to distract from the main focal point by posing as if the picture is all about them), but I hate introducing something "foreign to the setting" in my landscapes (just me) so the rare times when there is something already there like a local person or animal or a small boat, etc. is my personal favorite.
Wow. Just wow. I’ve always been a proponent for telephoto landscape, even while receiving backlash saying that wide angle is the only way to do so. This description you provide is the exact same way I feel about it. Isolating aspects for detail instead of an overload. Very well said and thank you for this video!

After a lot of research and soul searching I bought this lens. I enjoyed your video on the many uses I can get out of this beauty of a lens.
Finally getting my RF 70-200 tomorrow and I'm beyond excited! Great video with some different perspectives that I think will be fantastic!

Mads, this is in my opinion, one of your best tutorial videos! I will certainly try what you have taught here! Bravo mate, well done!
7:00 and 7:30 are both great photos, and great examples of what you're describing.

Thank you very much, Cindy! I'll definitely make more videos from Denmark :)
Thanks for sharing, great tips. I’m looking forward to trying them especially with spring around the corner and some new waterfalls to try.
I love the 70-200mm f2.8 and is definitely in my bag at all times ready for use.
I love this. Always wanted to know how the focal distance worked when photographing vastness of nature!
This is one of the beset videos I've seen

The best way I find to explain it is the classic moon and church spire photograph. If you fill the frame using a wide angle lens with the spire, the moon will be a tiny point of light.

Basically, instead of standing close to the subject with the background far away, you’ve stood far from the subject and zoomed in, with the unavoidable effect that you’ve also zoomed into the background.
I totally agree with you. And I also believe that the no deforming of the lines (from tele lenses) helps the compression effect.
Your first sentence isn't always true. In your example of the moon and spire, it's true that you can create compression by moving farther away and using a longer focal length, but you could also do the exact opposite by moving closer and using a shorter focal length to keep the spire the same size.

Thanks for this, I will now tuck my wide lens to bed and get more savvy with my 300mm. Always a great pleasure seeing your photos.👍
Such a great explanation of using focal length and "compression" for landscape. Phenomenal photo as well
landscapes with telephoto lenses make much more drama. I love it!
Not necessarily but for the right scene it's highly beneficial ;)
Very enjoyable and informative video. Quite timely as I've just purchased an RF 70-200MM & have a trip to Iceland planned in November. Excellent!
