It is all a matter of perspective. The "vertical" snag was actually horizontal, a fallen tree that got hung up on another tree while still quite a distance from the ground.
SOOC using the rich B&W setting.
Seen at Cheatham Grove.
An additional 3rd time my friend michelle was nice enough to give me her time to fool around with a photoshoot and was able to get this very interesting and abstract perspective.
People in Maine probably call this a beach. I would call it more of a shoreline. When I think of a beach, I think of the beaches we have along the Texas shore - with sand that is so fine that when it's dry, it flows in and out of your sandals like a warm footbath. I think of wide-open stretches of sand where you can drive your car up and down the beach for miles upon miles, in a slow-motion promenade that serves as a sort of mating dance for scantily clad young humans.
A single rock the size of these on our beach would draw a crowd as if it were a beached whale, with onlookers gawking and taking selfies with it - wondering where it came from, and some probably wondering if we should push it back out to sea..
But that's just my perspective, which is of course colored by my own experiences and preferences. Which doesn't mean I don't love the rocky shoreline of Maine - I do. There is great mystery and romance in the way the waves crash against the dark rocks and wash back out to sea..
Forced Perspective Photography. HAH! When I checked out 10 books of faces at the library for these shots the Librarian thought I couldnt read through all of them in a month... little did she know I probably wont read any of them!
That was a tough one as I didn't bring a tripod and this is a 30 seconds exposure, I used a Gorilla Pod to stabilize the camera during the exposure. The problem is that the Gorilla Pod is not really meant to be used on a camera in vertical position which made it quite tough to align it properly.
This is a multiple perspective image that was inspired by the work of Braque, Picasso, and Hockney. I took multiple shots of an acoustic guitar outside with the fall leaves surrounding it. Each shot was a different angle, or the lighting was slightly different. This was so that, when I assembled the image, there would be an abstract and 3 dimensional experience for my viewers. I used Photoshop to assemble the picture, which allowed me to crop, spin and add curves layers to the shots I wanted to stand out more. I tried to keep the general shape of the guitar which was a challenge, but also fun to try. I wanted the picture to be complete with a rectangular shape because I felt it forced more attention to the center object.
