We are always on the way to somewhere but much too focused on the destination. Enjoy the journey. Take it in. Once you get to your destination you're just going to pick a new goal anyway and start a new journey. Endless traveling. Stop, take a few deep breaths, engage your senses; enjoy the moments in your life on the way, they are just as beautiful as when you reach the top.
Your perspective often depends on where you stand. In art, in photography, in life.

In photography, looking in a different perspective can give a unique image. Same in real life, doing something in a new perspective can bring you a whole new experience and learning.

The challenge this time is Tilt Shift..... however I do not own a tilt shift lens or a lensbaby, and I want to try something in-camera. After googling ideas, I came across a technique I had never heard of and honestly would not have thought would work. It's called free-lensing.
Literally free-lensing means detaching your lens, and holding it near the camera body. You can slightly tilt &/or shift the lens relative to the camera to alter the plane of focus. I was amazed at the outcomes. Getting the focus is difficult, especially when your point of focus is far (like mine was). Macro seems a bit easier to master as you can just gets closer to the image (I didn't feel like jumping off my balcony). Moving objects (i.e. my cats) were impossible to photograph with this technique at my current skill level. The light leaks were actually visually appealing and depending on the degree of tilt the bokeh that filled the image was lovely. The sharpness of the focal point was hard to achieve, but that may be my technique.
The hardest part is getting over the fear of dropping the lens (in this case off my 28th floor balcony)..... Note that I did not pull an accident like one of our beloved accident-prone Flickr stars (I won't name names, he knows who he is!! lol).
Moral of the story.... if you are brave enough to death grip your lens, are away from significant dust/dirt/water/etc that could damage your camera/lens, and want to try a fun new technique I recommend giving it a try!

prosperity, and we receive enlarged
perspective and increased patience, or

with the gift of grace. He may bestow

Le mauvais temps.... jamais personne ne capte la lumière du mauvais temps.

Objects in photo are smaller than they appear! My little 4" long cast iron wagon with acorns looks a lot bigger from this perspective!
Well, that didn't quite work the way I planned. I was putting my lens cap beside the spider for perspective and it climbed right up!
This looks a bit like the bee hunting crab spiders I see in the garden. I wonder if they are related. This one was on a dish towel, in the house. I 'escorted' it outside where it posed for a few shots before carrying on its way.
