Taken for a monthly challenge for my photography club- Theme- Architechture.
I really like this building, the lines remind me of a ship of sorts. Had a few hours of fine weather in the last week or so and I was able to get a few shots around the city.
The other day, I posted a picture showing the Coastal Redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants in California. Many of you commented about the size of these wondrous trees.
Just for contrast, I thought I'd post a shot of the General Sherman tree in Sequoia National Park. The General is a member of the Sequoiadendron giganteum species which are found in the Southern Sierra Nevada Range. Where the Seqoiadendron do not grow as tall as their "coastal" cousins, they can put them to shame where sheer mass is concerned.
The General Sherman is recognized as the largest single stem tree on earth. For perspective, I included a real human who can be seen leaning on a fence just to the right of tree.
More information, including pictures of the entire tree may be found here:

Happy Fence Friday everyone.

a perspective correction applied to a previous edit of a shot taken at Bath. UK.
much thanks Karel, a pleasing first attempt at this in ps.
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.
Though this shot is somewhat overexposed, I still like it. The dynamic contrast between the white face in the sun and the woman sitting in the shadow was very big. I needed to correct some of the exposure in post processing, but I definitely should have exposed a bit darker.
These are those cool chairs of which the backside is modeled as white faces. Taken with a 63-year-old Leitz Hektor 125mm lens @f/2.8
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.

" Sometimes we may ask God for
success, and He gives us physical and
mental stamina. We might plead for
prosperity, and we receive enlarged
perspective and increased patience, or
we petition for growth and are blessed
with the gift of grace. He may bestow
upon us conviction and confidence as
we strive to achieve worthy goals."
David A. Bednar

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!
Sydney Sails | Perspective Shot
This is a pic of the Sydney Opera House I took one morning when wandering around. I like to challenge myself to find a different perspective on these famous landmarks, and in this case I got right up close to capture the detail in the sails.
