focal-length blending

“Focal-length blending” is the term for combining exposures that were recorded using different focal lengths.

Depicting any elements of a scene at different magnifications — whether through “focal-length blending” or any other means — always disqualifies the result from P3 and P7 (and thus from TTG), regardless of how, when, or why it was done.

It doesn’t matter “how the photographer saw the scene” (“The mountains felt closer in person than they looked in the photo” or “The moon looked bigger in person than it looked in the photo”).

See the list of rationales for performing TTG-disqualifying actions.
