There was a few hours to spare on the afternoon of Christmas Eve and the light was already nice, so I decided to head down to Robert's Bank to catch the sunset at the end of the tracks, so soon after the winter solstice.

I have photographed this area numerous times before, but this was the first time from the truck bridge and the dyke.

An unusual view of a mini - this one has been rotated to show the mini in the correct plane - it was actually affixed to a vertical wall in Stavanger, Norway.
Here's the drawing teacher in me:
Notice that the corner of the lowest step in the photo is higher in the picture plane than each of the subsequent, ascending steps. But the corners of the four highest stairs don't follow that pattern--each corner is slightly lower than the corner of the step above it, as you might expect. What a wicked perspective conundrum.
I may use this photo to torture my students next semester.
One thing I love about the Hotel Kurrajong is the layout, with many wings separated by courtyards & gardens.. My exercise included a couple of circumnavigations.
Aerial perspective or atmospheric perspective refers to the effect the
atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a
distance. As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the
contrast between the object and its background decreases, and the
contrast of any markings or details within the object also decreases.
The colors of the object also become less saturated and shift towards
the background color.
Perspective Snag Sunset is a wonderful image caught on a high ridge.
When I see high contrast scenes I hunker down and try to bring it in. High F-stop diffractions and silhouettes dominate the scene on a remote ridge line. The backcountry is full of an infinite number of little zen like scenes at any one time. I find that all I have to do is be there and mother nature will provide. Smoke in the atmosphere is a wonderful thing for photography.
I walk miles in the backcountry as it keeps me in shape. Well it might be the 20 pounds of gear I’m hauling on deer trails😜…. I have to do something to make up for the computer time I sit on my tail lolol. Working parallel ridges with riding or walking a shadow line is the way to set up compositions that I’m using here. Look for opportunities to walk and follow shadow lines.
Here in the backcountry I run into random opportunities to use the landscape for illusion and crushing perspective. If your buying gear soon…. Mirrorless Cameras: I’m not blind now because I look through the a Mirrorless cameras eyepiece which has a video screen behind the glass so no direct path of light to blind you. Newer mirrorless cameras do this video thing. Older Designed DSLR’s don’t show you your image until AFTER YOU CLICK. Mirrorless Cameras show you your settings changes live on screen and you get what you see when you click not after.
If your shopping for cameras, I would tell you to buy mirrorless. Particularly if you work outside with cameras. Studio it’s not critical either way. Don’t look into the sun with a DSLR camera.
Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands.
Perspective Snag Sunset
Quick, snap a shot of the beautiful Vung Tau bridge architecture. And boy did I. No Photoshop/editing on this one. :)

People wonder about how big these Pelicans are!
Well I waited for this Little Egret to walk into frame and took this shot. I hope it puts the size of these birds into perspective. D&J.
The entire freshmen class of Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy MSA was invited by the Chicago International Film Festival to view the documentary film The Homestretch which follows three homeless teens as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future.
A primary goal of educators at Perspectives is to instill a sense of compassion for all things diverse through the A Disciplined Life education model and using film to compliment in class instruction is just one way that teachers illustrate real life examples, including homelessness. “I hope that our freshman will be empathetic toward homelessness,” said Perspectives 9th grade Algebra teacher Tanya Gaughan. “I hope they will feel driven to reach out and help others and realize that, though the students represented in the movie struggle every day of their lives, they still have focus and goals and purpose to do better and to succeed.”

The new suburban trains here consist of several flexibly joined cars, and you can walk through half the train. That of course gives a fantastic perspective when you look along the aisle. Today I had the luck of standing at one end and not too many passengers, so I couldn't resist taking a snapshot.
Die neuen S-Bahnen im RMV bestehen aus Waggons, die mit flexiblen Bälgen verbunden sind, so dass man innen durch den halben Zug laufen kann und die Nahtstellen fast nicht bemerkt. Die Symmetie und der Fluchtpunkteffekt reizen mich daran schon seit einiger Zeit, und heute habe ich endlich einen brauchbaren Schnappschuss machen können.
