Pet Pix, where the cat's nose is prominent, the use of 35 mm or digital camera or Adobe Photoshop?
I have seen the greeting cards here in Jersey, where a picture of a dog or cat and it looks like the nose is almost touching the camera. Does anyone know if this is done with a 35mm or digital SLR? Can do in PS7? You can see what I'm trying to accomplish here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7402986365 That was a manipulation of this PS7: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/the_honeysuckle_rose/PETZZZZZZZZZZ/Snooparella. jpg I do not mind using a shutter speed of the digital camera or scanning is in I love the ease of digital, but is limited. Anyone who can offer some advice or direction will be my new best friend. Jersey
It is not the type of camera is focal length lens. The shorter the focal length the more distortion you get. If the distance from the tip of the cat's nose to his eye, is about an inch, and may complete the picture with the cat's head shot of 9 inches from nose, nose comes 10% of the distance between the cat's eyes to the camera. If you fill the frame with the cat shot by 1 inch from the nose, the nose, then comes after 50% of the distance between the eyes at the camera so it seems much bigger. If you shoot a human being with an SLR camera uses a 50mm lens, and fill the frame with his head, his nose will be too large. That's why portrait lenses are 80-100 mm. With a cat, since its head is round, the distortion would not be so pronounced. If you went to a lens of 35 mm or less, you could probably achieve the desired effect.
