The rules against photography in the galleries led me to seek other avenues of photographic expression in the National Gallery of Canada. I focused on architecture, colour, tone and perspective. To add an element of human interest I tried to include people where possible.
Interesting, that the folks at the South Dakota Air and Space Museum put a sidewalk directly underneath the B-1 bomber that’s on display. It’s an invitation to walk directly underneath the aircraft from front to back, which gives you an excellent perspective on how large these planes are.
Not an original idea by any stretch.. I remember Danny aka Catch-light doing a similar shot in his 366 a few years ago. If you want an inspiring collection of photos to look at I urge you to take a look at his stream.
Here is the 6th picture of my 52 project.
Theme of the week was "Perspective".
Come here next Sunday for the picture number 7. Theme will be "memories".

Hey Fotorians! This week we are going to introduce another photography technique that is fun and easy to use: Forced Perspective. Once you’ve finished reading this blog, you will not be able to wait to go outside and get to try out this technique.Forced Perspective is a technique used primarily in photography, filming movies and architecture. It’s about creating optical illusions by making an object appear larger, smaller, farther or closer than it really is. Yes, basically it is to fool our eyes into creating an illusion for something that seems logically impossible, but thanks to creativity and imagination, we can make it look real.Have you ever tried to catch the clouds in your hand ? Try to hold the Tower of Pisa to keep it from falling? This technique is called Forced Perspective. Have you tried it? forced perspective: How is it done? As mentioned above, the key is creativity and imagination. It is achieved by mixing the background of the photo with the foreground, making it appear that the two objects have the same importance. Of course, these two objects have different sizes and it is precisely this that tricks our eyes into creating an optical illusion. It is all about composition, zoom and perspective. To get the coolest and impressive effects, the following factors must be considered.
Composition: Before you shoot your photo you have to have thought about the composition you want to achieve. You gotta place people and objects in the right location and move the camera slowly to connect the 2 objects together. It is better to not use a tripod so you’ll have more room for maneuvering.forced perspective
Zoom: It is better to work with a high zoom. You’ll have more freedom and space to connect the elements of the picture and get better results.
Point of view: Depending on how you shoot the photo serves to enlarge or reduce the size of the elements. From a closer point of view and focus you’ll get up to the elements to appear larger.Care needs to be taken with the focus and with the lighting. If the objects in the photo have different lighting or are blurred, it will make the effect look fake. Try focusing in on both the objects to create the perfect perspective. This will definitely fool everyone! If you want to blur the image to enhance this effect, we recommend trying out tilt-shift to create a miniature effect in the background. You can use Tilt-Shift at Fotor.com just as we did in the photo below.forced perspective
Tips. Try different things out, experiment and work with the scenery. Take lots of photos and try try again to really learn how to do it. Composing photos with hilarious elements is always interesting.
