All lenses for cameras have a field of view. If you hold a lens up to a white piece of paper and move it back and forth until the image is sharp you will see a round image which is sharp in the middle and then falls off towards the edges. (This should be done in a darkened room.) The area which is sharpest is the angle of view. What you get will depend on each lens. For example a wide angle lens will see a greater amount of area because it has a wide angle of view where as a tele lens has a small angle of view. However all the lenses must fit the cameras film size.

This is when a different view is taken upon an object or picture. Eg. Worms eye view can make the subject appear bigger or more powerful while birds eye view can make something look smaller or helpless.

Low angle view?

this term is often confused with angle of field and field of view. The angle of view is the (diagonal) angle subtended by the scene captured in the photograph. This establishes the disc of best definition required for the lens. The angle of field is the angle subtended at the lens rear nodal point by the diagonal of the format itself. In a rectilinear image this is the same as the angle of view, but not for anamorphic images such as those produced by fisheye lenses. 'Field of view' simply describes the area covered in a scene. For example, although the angle of view of a fisheye lens is 180 degrees, its angle of field may be as low as 90 degrees. The field of view may be described as 'horizon to horizon'. For a standard (prime) lens the angle of field is typically 50-55 degrees, the same as the angle of view, and the field of view is roughly the same as that of the eye in a normal viewing of a scene or a picture.
