Day 350. 12/06/2011
We,humans like to have perceptions about things- people, countries, cultures, etc.
We perceive things from what we hear from others, who has probably heard it from somebody else.
The perception about Islamic women is one such example. Westerners think those females are caged and nothing more. Fortunately, thats not the truth.
Just because she covers herself, doesn't mean she's oppressed. Islam has given men and women equal rights.
Please dont generalise, and please dont have false perceptions about things you dont know about.

Day 350! Expected some flowers on my stream? Or something happy go lucky? Sorry to disappoint you guys then:p.
I have been thinking about how we look at things that aren't real. I'm talking about spaceships, cars and photoediting.
I mean, we know how a car is supposed to look like. We see them every day, real cars, our brains are tuned to them in terms of how they look and move around us. Spaceships are a different thing, we're not that used to seeing them around. Does that make a difference when making images with a scale model? Is a spaceship an easier sell than a car?
I made an experiment with the Maserati Boomerang model I've been building during the past couple of months.

There are far too many judgments and misconceptions with everything, though some often carry more then others. But if you take the time to look beyond those, you can see what's really there. I would like you to come have a look for yourself, and tell Me what you see.
While you're here, be sure to have a look around at all the other talented Artists' work.
There is no dress code, just come as you are. Be yourself, be comfortable and have some fun.

As stated in the quote above, photography has taught me to see, where my way of seeing the world is kind of split into two parts: one "eye" perceives the world as a whole, where the other one is my photographic eye which thinks in motifs and pictures. These two perceptions are not the same (at least for me) since beautiful things don’t necessarily look beautiful in a picture because there are so many factors which can make a picture less attractive. Conversely, you can use so many techniques like changing the overall composition, the depth of field, the dynamic range, the colors etc. to make a picture interesting.
So this is a first attempt to this idea, where I just quickly made a close-up of my eyes. Since the weather wasn't really good I was too lazy to go outside and thus I placed my camera at the windowsill and took a picture with my macro using a remote control. Hope you like it!
depois de muitos dias chuvendo não sei mais se a grama estava muito verde mesmo ou se minha percepção foi alterada após tantos dias enclausarado em casa por causa da chuva.

after so many days in home because of the strong rains, i dont know if the grass was so beautiful bright or if my perception was altered because of the many days enclousured at home.

Waterfilm is a series filmed in 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute.this series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...

I watched this photo many times - never sure if i should delete or store it.
It's definitely not a "beautiful flower - shot".
But each time i love the background-colours in combination with the colours of the leaves ..... and the light, which seems to lit up the seams of the leaves, and glitters at the remains of the spiders web.
So i decided to show you this attempt and am looking forward to your opinions of my perception, your critics, helpful advices and others.... :-)
Which quote has more significance to this image?
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
-Florence & The Machine
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
"Depth Perception:" Aldous Huxley has stated, "There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." Looking into this scene, it became difficult for me to tell the depth of the water; some of the submerged rocks were visible below the surface, but the reflections from the trees and rocks above began to play tricks on my eyes. I did end up crossing the creek and found the deepness varied with the undulating terrain below.
I decided to try editing this image with paint.
This is the start of a possible series that will explore manual photo editing. Please do not mistake this for a full painting. It's goal is to make the viewer question what it is and what it is not.

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.

I absolutely love the fact that the title is portrayed in the picture.
'Selective perception' is the process by which individuals perceive what they want to in media messages while ignoring opposing viewpoints. It is a broad term to identify the behavior all people exhibit to tend to "see things" based on their particular frame of reference.
We perceive the world as we see it. Our perception is based on what we see and what we want to see.
The reality is, if you imagine positive, you’ll end up in having a positive image of your surroundings.
Sunsets have always been part of my inspiration, it always attracts my attention, that brings me close to the nature.

Day 5 of the reveals for the G+ Photo Scavenger Hunt. Category: Perception. For this I thought what is more perceptive than the 10th Doctor? The model is a co-worker of mine that does one of the best 10th Doctor's I've seen. The tardis in the background is one of his miniature collectibles that I took a nice close shot of. @tenthdoctormatt
