Wide angle and Telephoto Lenses offer a very different image, a wide angle lens for a DSLR Medium format camera such as my Canon 50D would be something like a 15mm, 24mm or 28mm lens. With a wide angle lens things appear further away than with a standard or Tele lens and the Angle of view is wider so you have more coverage, it exaggerates perspective.
A Telephoto lens for my camera would be something like a 85mm, 135mm or 200mm lens.
A Telephoto lens makes things appear bigger, gives less coverage and it flattens perspective, meaning this would perhaps be more appropriate for portraits than a wide angle lens.
For the wide and Telephoto shots i decided to use the studio and a controlled lighting setup.
I think that a good way to illustrate the difference between Wide and Telephoto is a Portrait, here are the shots i took:
F13, 1/200 Sec, ISO 100, handheld, edited in LR.
I have edited both images slightly in Lightroom by cropping them and desaturating them a little.
F13, 1/200 Sec, ISO 100, handheld, edited in LR.
This image literally appears flatter, although with some things that could be a bad thing, i think it works better when photographing people.
