After the first CL-415 touches down, the photographer zooms in on it, and then appears to keep the same zoom setting while tracking the approach of the second aircraft.

So the view of the latter is both magnified and foreshortened. While it's clearly closer than the first one, it's not quite as close to the spectators as you might think.
