    I'm guessing this was shot at a wider angle than it should have been. When we are taking pics, we need to remember than distortion based on focal length is a real thing. One of the reasons its important is that it has great effect on illumination of our subject.

    Maybe I could adjust the lighting conditions.

    Camera isn't a camera, (don't have one) it's an iPhone.

    How is that? I am aware of distortion/compression by focal length but not how it affects illumination.

    Angle of incident equals angle of reflection, but getting in closer and shooting wide angle has an effect on the light as opposed to going farther away and zooming in. The light has no choice but to hit two different ways. It doesn’t mean you are going to see it in every situation, it’s a matter of what the lighting is that you are using.


    ETA- walk in close and look at wide angle lines, they bend. They are bending more than just the lines, they are bending light waves as well.

    Stick I tried another shot without the busy carpet pattern as a background. The best natural light comes in that particular window so I tried using a different, more subdued background. It's not optimal, but getting closer. I appreciate the constructive criticism...

    Experimenting with detail shots and lighting, this is one of the better ones.

    I was working on this one tonight and as it was sitting on the bench I thought it was a nice angle so I snapped a shot.
