Love the linear perspective ...heading towards a common point... No matter where they come from, all journeys will end at a common finishing point
I should have done this properly (at least straighten the sheet!) if I'd thought it would actually work... From the stud=R2D2 scale of 30051 to the sheer size of the Venator class model and the "midi-scale" Star Destroyer.

Note the Zuiko 25mm f1.8 lens seems to be prone to chromatic aberrations wide open.

Perspective.
‘Changing your perspective changes your experience.’
Today’s image is of a dandelion gone to seed.
Personally I like this maligned flower, the flower that has been branded a weed, the flower my wife will spend countless hours attempting to eradicate from our lawn and gardens, the flower that turns to seed in order to infect all surrounding areas, the flower that is the scourge of every sports field, yes the flower hated almost as much as the fictitious triffids.
But...
The dandelion is also the flower touted with amazing health benefits, the flower that carries childhood wishes when the seeds are blown into flight, the flower that can be turned into a crown/necklace on a lazy summer day, the flower of summer dreams.
When it comes down to it, it’s all about perspective.
This is from an assignment on Dyxum.com. Dyxum is a website dedicated the Minolta and Sony A-Mount cameras and lenses. One of the nice things about the site is that they have some truly knowledgeable and dedicated photographers there who are willing to take the time to craft assignments for other photographers to shoot to better their trade.
This assignment was entitled 'Perspective.'
It's a three part assignment and in the first part, you were supposed to take a telephoto shot, and then a wide angle shot, and crop the wide angle shot in Post to be the same framing and size as the original.
The second part is to take a wide angle lens, a telephoto lens, and a 'normal' lens. Shoot your subject with the Wide and the Tele lenses, and then put the normal lens on the camera. Move forward and back on foot until the size and framing of the original is duplicated in the 'normal' lens. I shot that part with a Tamron 28-75mm, so I used 28mm and 75mm as my wide and tele, and then 55mm as my 'normal' and moved front and back. I should have moved further back for the wide part.
Finally, Part C is walk around until you find something you want to shoot, and STOP and SHOOT IT. Then, look at the photo, and see how it can be improved by moving the camera up or down, and left to right. I moved five feel left, and reframed and shot You can see the difference a mere 5' makes.

New life. It happens every time…
On Tuesday my nephew, Peter Nathaniel, entered the world. His mother (my brother’s wife) had a relatively horrible pregnancy. There were scares regarding his health and that of his mom. There was waiting and misery and anxiety and pain. And then, on a lovely spring morning, this beautiful, healthy baby boy made his appearance. There is nothing like new life to shift your perspective. From pain to joy, from worry to relief, from squirms inside to snuggles outside… The miracle of the creation of life continues, every time I experience it, to shift my perspective. Suddenly the whines of a three year old, mounds of soiled clothing, time-tables to meet, errands to run – none of those matter. God’s amazing grace. God’s awesome gift of life. It’s like He’s handing us this child as a precious treasure – to hold, to nurture, to teach, to love, to bring His glory to His world.
So here is my one-day-old nephew, perhaps from God’s view. Looking down as this new life is swaddled with care and cherished with love. I imagine His heart filled with celebration and anticipation and a huge, knowing smile of the unimaginable plans He has for this child. Now that’s an incredible perspective.
