I was trying to not distract the shooters so I tried to be just behind their periphial (sp?) vision. Shooting them from this angle, it makes 325 look to be in a way different position than what he actually was. On the photo where he is between the 2 firing lines, there is alot of space between him and and the line on either side. You just can't tell it from my photos. I was shooting high ISO, shutter speed and aperture trying to catch the spent casing in midair. This really distorts the depth of field. If you were there, you would have seen the real perspective.
Not to mention "camera lens foreshortening" which increases with focal length to make two or more objects appear closer than they are in reality in whats known as perspective distortion". Commonly used in movie filming and when done on purpose it's called "Forced perspective" to give an illusion of size, big or small.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
