Your perspective often depends on where you stand. In art, in photography, in life.

" 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
I created Abstract: Enlarged Perspective
using Photoshop Elements 8.
This is the first B&W image that
I post. I hope that you all enjoy it
as much as I did creating it my friends.
Please receive my deep gratitude
for sharing your wonderful photographs
and for stopping by to appreciate mine.
May you all have a peaceful day!
“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.”

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.

À droite le rio Mondego qui va se jeter dans l´océan qui se trouve à gauche sur la photo .
Le camping est situé sur la bande de terre juste entre le rio et l´océan , à droite de la photo .
Le mauvais temps.... jamais personne ne capte la lumière du mauvais temps.
Certaines ambiances sont si dramatiques parfois....
Where is the vanishing point? We call tere tower mansion. Harumi is the many tower mansions. Tokyo Japan
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.
Perspective for the purpose of this challenge is the relationship of objects in the scene. If you really want a challenge this is a good chance to use forced perspective.
