So now I've got some questions. If the human eye focal value for poser purposes (assuming a 35 mm base) is around 55 mm, why do things seem to look "better" at around 100 mm? I'm not being sagacious, I'm actually hoping someone more familiar with photography/cameras can fill us in on the science behind that. Certainly the "right" focal value also depends greatly on the effect desired, but it seems for normal, everyday, "realistic" shots we always get the advice that 100 is the best setting for the camera. Or is "better" just totally subjective and some people are happier with the results they get rendering at around 55 to 60 mm? Unzipped PS. Yes Dr. Geep is the king of poser tutorials. There should be a permanent link to his tutorials at the top of this forum's page.
