i am incredibly reluctant to spend on gear, but i realized that I needed some help seeing things differently - both literally and figuratively. and i was long overdue for a new lens.
Here's one of my latest creations...

Time has stood still at this visitor centre. A little gem to encounter along the Cromford Canal. But it's so much more than this :-)
High Peak Junction, near Cromford, Derbyshire, is the name now used to describe the site where the former Cromford and High Peak Railway, whose workshops were located here, meets the Cromford Canal. Its also part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Colors and Perspective. Taken at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Gardens at Elms bank. I wanted to capture the depth of the flowers in the front and mid ground while trying to maintain the clarity of the clouds in the background.
Really enjoy the 40mm perspective and bought the Canon Pancake 40F2.8 lens. Enjoying the AF functionality and focusing is fast enough for my style of photography. View other shots taken with this lens here. A small but growing collection.
Another 40mm favorite is the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm F1.4 MC lens. It renders images in a way that is reminiscent of film. View other shots taken with this lens here.
Have used a variety of 40mm lenses, view shots taken here.
This trip up to Tam wasn't incredibly fruitful. I just couldn't seem to get to the right place at the right time, but I did catch these hikers viewing the fog from a distance.

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.
