If the print is held so that a person's face is life-size (put it where the window would be), it looks objectionable if you are closer to the print/window than you would be to look at the person normally.

That's what movie directors are doing when they hold their hands out to define corners of a frame. However at reading distance the scanning of the macula over the 'window' gives an effect that is pretty close to flat, except that you have two eyes and they can't both match at the same time, and the perception is corrected for eye placement vs head rotation axis and that shows visible differences if you trace a window vs hold up a normal photo.īut to be precise about what is meant, and to show that it's accurate, the 'window' is the definition to use. The back of the eye is not flat, and the projection is not 'corrected' (but the mapping of which pixel is where un-does the projection effect) so there's really no such thing without special equipment. If you want people to not look funny, use a definite telephoto length. The modern computer viewing is probably different than 'print', and even 4 by 6 is not what was used to come up with that. Cropping changes that, meaning you need a shorter lens if you plan margins to crop later. So it depends on the size of the print and the viewing distance. Hold it up, keeping the distance to the eye the same, and it should look exactly like a wire frame (a window) would, in its original position. Say, a 4 by 6 photo, at reading distance.

Plus it depends on the nature of the print! Look at the final print. I recall looking through the viewfinder with one eye and around it with the other, figuring it would match at the 'natural' size. A 50mm lens on crop becomes rather tight and is more suitable for portraits, although that is just an opinion. (fullframe equivalent) to show the same angle as your eyes when they are normally looking at something.Ī 50mm lens equivalent is a well accepted 'standard', so a 35mm lens could be considered as standard on an APS-C camera, taking into account the crop factor. That is also the reason why humans/animals have to 'aim' with their head, not every part of the eye has the same resolution.īecause your eyes 'focus' on a smaller angle of view, photographers prefer to have a 50mm This is due to the fact that your eyes can 'focus' on a much smaller angle (see Macula of retina). To capture such a wide angle you will need a very expensive ultra wide angle lens that does not look very natural in a picture. You will see it becomes visible when it is somewhere beside your head, so your angle of view is around 180 degrees with both eyes. They 'focus' on a smaller angle of view, but if you concentrate you can see things in your peripheral vision.Įxample: look forward and keep your arms next to your head, then slowly turn your hand forward. It is a common misconception that your eyes cover 50 degrees or something like that. The angle of view from your eyes is about 180 degrees. However, the eye is a very special organ and it is sometimes difficult to compare it with a camera with lenses.

This applies to APS-C cameras, as well for full frame cameras. When you close one of your eyes, you will notice that your sight does not change, regarding the size of objects. You could test this by looking through the viewfinder with one eye, and looking next to it with the other eye.

This drawing tutorial doesn’t go into shading the eye…but further drawing tutorials will cover this.When you look through a viewfinder, a lens at around 50mm focal length will show objects at the same size as when you look at something with your eyes. Also draw a curved line above and below the eye. Now draw the eye brows by drawing the hairs…notice that the hairs don’t go up and down…instead they go to the side. Now erase the portions of the eye that they eyelids hide. Now draw the upper and lower eye lids over part of the eye’s iris. Then draw the inner portion of the eye, sort of a sideways letter ‘u’ type shape. Now draw the outer portion of the eye – sort of the body shape of a fish. Start drawing the human eye by drawing a circle with a much smaller circle within it (Pupil and iris) Step 2
