Bayhem is the use of movement, composition and fast editing to create a sense of epic scale. Each individual shot feels huge but also implies bigger things outside the frame. Stacks of multiple layers of movement shot on a very long lens or a wide one. It shows a lot in just a moment then takes it away.
The mention of compressed space reminded me why I abandoned my desire for a long telephoto lens after seeing what it is they actually do.
I thought it would be so cool to photograph, say, a distant mountain goat as if it were close up that appears as a dot from a distance. What power! But not anymore. I realized the serious telephotos flatten the subject unacceptably. Telephotos compress the distance between objects so you cannot tell if the goat is standing directly behind a bush or fifty yards beyond it, while compressing the depth of the subjects themselves so that rocks and bush and goat all look as if they are printed on cards for an artificial diorama.
