Oooh focal length. I was like “those hair are not 20 mm” for a moment.

It’s important to note that it’s the subject distance that’s the primary factor, not the focal length. The focal length is secondary in that it dictates how far you would be to achieve the given framing. If you shoot the picture at 200 mm from the example and then without moving you shoot again at 20, you’ll have the same perspective, just way smaller subject in the frame; if you then crop in the picture shot at 20, you’ll have the same framing too, just way less pixels.

If you’re half a metre away from the dude’s nose, you’ll be roughly 60 cm away from his ears (20% more distance), but if you’re 5 metres away from his nose, you’ll be 5.10 m away from his ears (only 2% more distance) - and this is what creates the difference in apparent sizes of the facial features relative to one another.

This should go to YSK.

I don’t know these guys, so I went and did some research, and it wasn’t until I was neck deep in an article on a theory about them being the same person that it finished off saying that the Wikipedia page for Childish Gambino redirects to Donald Glover.

Nice one.

Brains have to learn to recognize differences

That’s why people not exposed to a group have trouble with differing

I read somewhere that people in Asia won’t tilt on things like eye or hair colour being different immediately since their so used to black hair/brown eyes that they just filter it out and use other cues.

This also means that people who look identical to say a European are considered to look nothing alike.

I can’t tell them apart because I only have 1 Donald Glover friend. I guess I need to get to know more of them.

I couldn’t find a polite way to ask him to introduce me to more Donald Glovers.

Almost bought tickets to see CG. Then I heard Glover was also showing and I was confused. Why is a comedian opening for one of the most provocative rappers today? I’ll wait til streaming so I can fast forward an hour til the real show.
