How does perspective work in pictures?
An important thing missed here: according to the EXIF data in them, these photos are all taken with an iPhone XS. That means they are taken with a tiny wide angle lens. You&#x27;d get a very different shot if you took out a dedicated camera with a physically larger lens and a smaller angle.<p>The overall thrust of this article <i>touches</i> on this when it starts discussing different focal lengths, but the fact that the engineers at Apple made a particular set of choices with their lenses that are a compromise between &quot;what can be achieved with a tiny flat lens measured in millimeters&quot; and &quot;what provides a mostly-acceptable image in <i>any</i> situation&quot;, and are very not the choices one might make for specifically photographing a portrait or a landscape or whatever, is really never remarked on.
