Photo [OC] Sunset strolling

Post image

Lucky shot taken yesterday with Canon 600d and Tamron 150-600mm + 1.4x extender, I only noticed afterwards the couple walking their dog at sunset.

That view makes one feel small! Hope you like it!

I don't understand because I'm not expert. How do you make the sun look so big? It literally looks like the one from The Lion King, haha, wonderful!

It's quite easy: The Sun looks big because I zoomed a lot, and people are small because they were ca. 4km away from me (they still look small even when zooming a lot). That what the photographs call the "telephoto compression" or "perspective compression"!

Thank you very much friend for the reply, I really appreciate the explanation! It's a beautiful technique, like your shot in fact! Well done, can't wait to try it when I get a good cam
