When you see a photograph you like, try and figure out how the photographer made that shot. See if you can figure out if a wide angle, normal, or telephoto lens was used. See if you can figure out what aperture setting was used. This becomes pretty tricky because wide angle, normal, and telephoto lenses behave very differently even at the same aperture settings. Many of the pictures you find on the web will still have the EXIF data embedded. You can decode them here:
