This bunch I shot in the eastern sierra of California.

Some newer cameras (not my Canon 30D, unfortunately, but the 40D and on) have something like "live view," where you can see the live image on the LCD. That will work, though, again, it's possible to damage the digital sensor through overheating. Gale:

Read the discussion above. Perspective is determined by the relative location of the camera (or eye) and subject, not the focal length. The focal length determines framing, what is and is not in the photo. Ask an artist. @Simon Bunting:

Using a longer focal length can create some stunning photographs because they compress the perspective! Thanks :) Yeah I could not agree more.
