Focal length blending is a popular technique photographers use to overcome the limitations of wide-angle lenses. With ultra-wide scenes, you can often end up with subjects that appear far too small despite seeming massive when you’re out in the field.
To perform a focal length blend, you’ll want to take your typical ultra-wide shot first and then take another image where you zoom in slightly on your subject. Then, you’ll merge the two images in Photoshop.
Find a low-detail area in the scene for the most seamless blends. If you have too much detail in your scene, it can be challenging to find a spot to blend the two images together without being able to tell what you’ve done.
