Default Why do bass look so small

Objects that are closer to the camera lens are magnified more than more
distant objects. Short focal length lenses such as those on most "point and
shoot" cameras enhance this effect more than telephoto lenses because the
foreground objects in photos taken close up are proportionally closer to the
camera than those in telephoto shots. In the future, hold the fish between
your body and the camera. The fish will look larger and you will look
smaller. You will notice that the stars on fishing shows often hold the fish
an entire arms length closer to the camera to make them look large for TV!

Have a Great Day!
