Picture This! – Our Next Assignment
Stacking & Tele-Compression
Telephoto lenses do bring you closer to distant subjects, but they also offer an optical bonus; the effect known as “stacking,” where distant subjects seem to sit atop one another and create a mostly 2D effect. Our Picture This! assignment this month is to use a telephoto lens and create images with “stacked” looks that contain multiple planes and subjects that are brought not only closer to you the photographer but look even closer together to each other in the frame. This photo shows the water towers of New York and was made with a Canon EOS 40D and an EF 28-135mm lens, which at 135mm gave an effective focal length of about 200mm.
Please Read This
It is important that you read and follow these guidelines. We need to follow
this procedure because of the large volume of images we receive. If you have
any questions, please e-mail us at: editorial@shutterbug.com.
1) Images sent to us cannot be returned. You retain complete copyright over the images, but do grant us permission to print your image(s) in the magazine and on our website, www.shutterbug.com.

4) Enclose a short caption with the image stating camera, lens, film and exposure, plus location. If you are submitting an image with a recognizable person we must have a model release or signed permission from that person to reproduce their image in the magazine and on the website.
