Project 10: Focal lengths and different viewpoints

OK, so this is a project I should have done a while ago but I've found a little unsatisfactory. I tried it with my extreme range of lenses, from 17mm all the way to 200mm, or even just 100mm, but I found it very difficult to get a subject that I could photograph with both of these ranges. So I have done this project with a couple of subjects to try to get the effect. The aim was to fill the frame with the same subject matter using the two extremes of lens length.

Photo 1. 100mm view zoomed in to yellow door on pub.

100mm, f/3.5, 1/100sec, ISO200

Photo 2: 17mm view up close to the pub.

17mm, f/4, 1/100sec, ISO200

Photo 3: 70mm view of the meadows.

70mm, f/6.3, 1/25sec, ISO200, Tripod

Photo 4: 24mm view of the meadows, up closer to the tree.

24mm, f/6.3, 1/30sec, ISO200, Tripod

I found it challenging (hence the late post for this project) to find suitable scenes and focal lengths which would fulfil the objective. It was interesting to see the differences between the two ends of the spectrum, the perspectives are certainly different, proving that different lenses are suitable for different subjects (possibly why I found this difficult?)
The wide angle shot of the pub makes us feel closer to the door, and thus perhaps more _involved_ in the image. The opposite is true for the meadows - the wider angle allows us to see what else is out there (open space, other buildings etc) which gives more of interest to look at in the photo, a sense of opening up the view.
As we would expect, in both scenes the telephoto version gives the image a compressed feel.
