Correlation between focal length, angle, and

perspective

Focal length, which is measured in millimetres, is the distance between the middle of the

lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of taken photos. A short focal

length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to take wide shots. A long focal length

translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to take telephoto shots.
