Even if you simply set up a camera in the middle of

focal length, and that particular film.
It's funny, but I was rumenating on that just this morning on
the way to work. Just as we leave the city proper, we go
past Sydney University. Right on Parramatta Road (one of
*the* major arterials into the city, and general a car
park when we're on it), is a little sandstone cottage, with
a 3m hedge (which you can see through) surrounding it. I
"previsualised" taking a photo of it on a misty morning,
from just inside the hedge on the Parramatta Road side,
and getting this lovely, serene scene of old architecture
that could be, and would *seem* to be, in some country
town outside of the city (like Oberon, where we go to
get away from it all, 3 hours west).

I knew 3M made adhesives, and films. Didn't know they were branching
out into landscaping. :-)
