While the ethics of using this technique may be hotly debated, it is undoubtedly a way to make your wide-angle compositions more intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-focal-length-blending\">What is Focal Length Blending?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focal length blending<\/strong> involves combining multiple photos taken at different focal lengths. Generally, this looks like combining a wide-angle photo of the foreground with a more zoomed shot of the background. To make things easier, these two photos are usually shot at the same time. Although, in some circumstances, photos from different times can be blended together. In this blog post, you\u2019ll learn exactly how to do a focal length blending of your own from photos shot at the same time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/understanding-focal-length-and-how-to-use-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">basics of focal length<\/a> in a previous article, if you need a refresher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1\">Step 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Capture the two images in the field one after the other, without changing camera settings. This will make it much easier to blend the two images. Don\u2019t change the focal length too much or else it won\u2019t look realistic. I find that taking an image with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lenses\/Mirrorless-Lenses?sel=Lens-Type_Wide-Angle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wide-angle lens<\/a> (14mm-20mm) of the foreground to combine with a background image taken slightly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lenses\/Mirrorless-Lenses?sel=Fixed-Focal-Length_25mm_35mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">zoomed in lens<\/a> (25mm-35mm) works really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09237-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09237-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09237-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09237.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Austin James Jackson<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09238.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09238.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC09238-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Austin James Jackson<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upload the photos to your computer, and open the files in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/abelpr22m.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photoshop<\/a>.

Trying to blend a wide-angle exposure with a 200mm exposure of your subject is just going to look unrealistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"don-t-change-your-settings\">Don&#8217;t Change Your Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you take both exposures one after another, without changing the settings. If you adjust the settings on your camera \u2014 or take the images many minutes apart \u2014 the tonal values will look different on the photos. If this happens, it is still possible to combine the images, but you must first apply some basic edits to match the images up. This creates a lot more work for you to do, and makes the blend much more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"go-easy-on-the-details\">Go Easy on the Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for a low-detailed area as the place where you\u2019ll blend the photos. In my example above, I blended the photos at a spot that had little details, and was far away. This made it so that you can\u2019t tell that I blended the two images together. I also used a very soft brush to make sure that the blend was feathered, and didn\u2019t have harsh edges. Any time you combine multiple photos together, you want to make sure they appear as seamless as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Focal length blending can help you create more interesting and well-balanced images. Oftentimes, using a wide-angle lens can result in subjects that appear much further away on the camera screen than they do in person, which creates the need to use focal length blending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feel obligated to use this technique on all of your wide-angle images. In fact, this is a technique that I recommend to use sparingly for those times where the subject is quite far from your interesting foreground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though this might seem like an advanced technique, it really isn\u2019t too hard. Focus on getting the images right in the field to make your post-processing experience much easier. The closer your images look in the field, the easier it will be to blend them together in post-processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for more information related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-composite-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">composite photography<\/a>? 42West has you covered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been shooting photos for long, you may be aware of a technique called focal length blending, or perspective blending.
