Wow. Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea lenses had such capabilities.

Yes telephoto lenses scrunch all the background toward the point of focus.

If you look at the radio tower just to the right of the rear wheels...with the palm tree and bushes...which appear in the distant background in the photo on the right, you see what I mean.

That same antenna, bushes and palm tree appear much closer to the vehicle in the photo on the left.

A 300 mm lense would do that.
