<H3>HT1981 - Seeing a Focal Length</H3>
I remember hearing a story about Edward Weston that I hope is true. It's said that once he set his tripod down to make a photograph he never needed to move it because he knew the focal length of his lens so well he could predict exactly where the camera needed to be. Does this mean that choosing our focal length changes the way we see?
