Shoot Tight: Keeping up with the Joneses

I chose this first pic - not because it is so spectacular... it isn't - but to show me the range of my camera. This is the point where telephoto lens meets digital zoom.

Although these pics complete the essay assignment of telling a story, I found that I much prefer to use my zoom to shoot close up, almost like a macro. I do like the compression that tight shooting gives me. When I tried to shoot this series wide, I couldn't get all three signs into the picture and have them remain legible. Tight shooting was a much better choice in this particular context.

My apologies go out to anyone who recognizes the subject.

To be honest, I cheated a little on this assignment. My focal lengths starting from the top at "Jones" are: 72 mm, 6 mm, 50 mm, 31 mm, & 25 mm.

I have additional "shoot tight" pics - just for fun - and I'll post them soon.
