This is a nice example of how the 300 mm focal length compresses perspective. There are a couple of kilometers between where I stand and the most distant buildings.
A view of Edinburgh, from Blackford Hill.
I quite enjoyed the perspective and depth of field. Buildings and houses almost look like miniatures
The assignment was perspective. I would have loved to have got out of the house and taken some cool pics but I'm still recouping from my surgery so I can't. So this is what I came up with, boring but at least I did the assignment, right??
week 16
It's only Wednesday and already my week embodies this word. True understanding of the relative importance of things. If I had to give my week a title it would be "Perspective."
I personally had a huge change of heart on Sunday. It's amazing what a slight shift in perspective can give you, and how freeing it can be.
And today this little guy, my three year old, went missing for about twenty minutes. The cops were called, neighbors were helping me search and I have never felt more scared in my life. The absolute worst case scenarios were flashing in my head. That twenty minutes felt like hours. It is not like him to take off and that added to my panicked state. My neighbor three houses down called me back in the midst of me growing more and more hysterical. While on the phone with her, she glanced out her window and spotted the sleeve of his gray shirt hiding under her picnic table. He had left his bike at the top of our driveway and took off to her house. He somehow got into her backyard and was hiding under her picnic table. I have never felt more helpless and scared. It took a good thirty minutes for my heart to beat normal again.
Life is so short, so fragile and can change so quickly. Cherish every precious moment you are given.
For my first perspective photo, I took a picture of my hand and another person's hand touching with the sun behind our fingers. This made it light up in a nice spot. It is forced perspective because it makes the sun look smaller than it actually is when compared to our fingers. This photo is interesting to me because it is an interesting and new idea to me. I like how the sun lights up the meeting point of our fingers and I like how the sun looks small compared to our hands. I am trying to convey a bright and happy feeling in this photo. The meeting of the two hands and the bright sun give the photo a cheerful tone. To take this photo, I used an SLR. I had an aperture of f/4.0 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 of a second and an ISO of 100. I did this because the sun was really bright and I did not want the whole background to be white.
Here's Thomas shot at the South San Francisco Cal Train station. Some of the people waiting at the train station must of thought I was nuts...here I am a grown man...taking endless amounts of pictures of Thomas (the toy) train. I must've taken about 20 of these...this was my favorite.

“What I need is perspective. The illusion of depth, created by a frame, the arrangement of shapes on a flat surface. Perspective is necessary. Otherwise there are only two dimensions. Otherwise you live with your face squashed up against a wall, everything a huge foreground, of details, close-ups, hairs, the weave of the bedsheet, the molecules of the face. Your own skin like a map, a diagram of futility, criscrossed with tiny roads that lead nowhere. Otherwise you live in the moment. Which is not where I want to be.”
Week 5 - extreme perspective photography task.
Middlesex University: Product Design and Engineering first year undergraduates...
So much of life is really just about how we perceive it. If our perspective is skewed, so then will be our conclusions. While Chinatown, and the CN Tower may be close from a universe perspective, they are in actuality, a fair distance away. And, truth be told, the tower really is bigger than this welcome sign. ;-)
...another perspective
after a few years, I recently returned to the scene of the crime where the original was shot.
