A shot in which a large object (e.g. a complete human figure) fits easily within the frame.
An image in which the distance between the camera and the subject is great. [Usually at least full body or more
Shot in which a human figure occupies about half to two- thirds of the screen height.
a shot of a scene taken from a distance thereby producing the effect of viewing the scene as if it were on a proscenium stage.

In photography and film, a long shot (sometimes refered to as a full shot) typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings; however, it is not as far away as an extreme long shot would be. It has been suggested that long-shot ranges usually correspond to approximately what would be the distance between the front row of the audience and the stage in live theatre. It is now common to refer to a long shot as a "wide shot" because it often requires the use of a wide-angle lens to photograph.
Long Shot is the name of a fictional spacecraft from the Known Space universe. It first appeared in the short story At The Core by Larry Niven, and played pivotal roles in several of his Ringworld novels.
