105/366: Waterfall Perspective
Life is all about perspectives, how we choose to view life and our surroundings greatly effects our happiness in life. Everything can be viewed from so many different perspectives. When photographing, I enjoy looking for unique or unexplored perspectives, finding the view nobody has seen, exploring different angles and techniques. The only way to learn is to try new things, to view new and unique perspectives and ultimately find our happiness.
This perspective of the Stone Creek Park waterfall is lower and closer then any other one of this waterfall I have taken. I am standing in the middle of the creek and have my camera about 2 inches out of the water. I love how from this angle you can see the water ‘dancing’ on each end of the waterfall.

As you can see, the visitors are very much interested in taking the pictures which create an illusion of the subjects like monuments being smaller or taller than them. This type of photography is very much popular among them. You can create an amazing picture which force the viewers to stop and see your clicked pictures.

Gigantism, also known as giantism, is a condition characterized by excessive growth and height significantly above average. In humans, this condition is caused by over-production of growth hormone in childhood resulting in persons between 2.13 m (7 feet or 84 inches) and 2.74 m (9 feet or 108 inches) in height.
The term is typically applied to those whose height is not just in the upper 1% of the population but several standard deviations above mean for persons of the same sex, age, and ethnic ancestry. The term is seldom applied to those who are simply "tall" or "above average" whose heights appear to be the healthy result of normal genetics and nutrition. Gigantism is usually caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland of the brain. It causes growth of the hands, face, and feet.[better source needed] In some cases the condition can be passed on genetically through a mutated gene.
Reports of gigantism exist throughout history, with some nations and tribes taller than others. The giants of Crete are listed in various historic sources, beginning with Titan, a Greek mythological giant, and including Gigantus, after whom giants and gigantism are named. Rhodes is another island where giants were said to have lived, with the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of a giant patron god Helios. Goliath, a giant mentioned in the Bible, was a Philistine warrior who was killed by David in a battle between the Israelites and the Philistines. A member of Goliath's family is also recorded as having six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

2. Perspective. Things that are close are big. Things that are far away are little. Yes -- that's an over-simplification. But you get the idea, right?
I was doing pretty good until I got to the middle and looked down between the cracks... and the cables dipped below 3 feet so I could no longer hold onto them.... not wanting to be the only tall white guy in the middle of the bridge crying out for his Mommy I puckered up and kept those feet moving... small steps, but still moving... :)
The perspective that I am referring to is how easy the crossing looked from the hillside before we reached the bridge and how completely different everything looked and felt while standing in the middle of the swinging bridge. The warning signs said not to have more than 8 people on it at a time and right about the time we reached the middle where I could no longer touch the steel cables several young men jumped on the bridge from the far side causing more swinging action and walked quickly towards us. I guess thats where the pucker part kicked in.... :) Somehow we moved to one side and let them pass... I don't remember that part clearly as I was focused on the rocks and rushing water below... :P
I find it's easy for our perspective to become skewed in our daily lives as well when we don't have a solid anchor from which we can draw strength during challenging times... I think it's good to examine our anchor from time to time... :)
I'm surprised that I haven't posted this yet. As the name suggests, it's my second completed perspective drawing, so I realize that there are mistakes and issues in some places. I really need to produce more of these. Maybe I'll get out my watercolor while I'm at it.
Also, most likely going to take a self-study course on AP Studio Art; does anyone have any experience with AP Studio Art, or even Studio Art in general?

"Perspective"
A little perspective when it comes to Horizons. Numbers mean a lot to me. So I look for things that personally relate. Anyone who reads this will now know. This is the first time in 3 years I have revealed this. One, anything that stands out in the foreground as one thing, means you. Or I. Standing alone. Appreciating what life has given us. Two things means my wife and I, or you and yours...etc. Three things means the holy trinity. Four things means my 4 children. Five things means the family I was raised in. Six things means my family. A flock of birds..too many to count...my friends I love dearly. Every detail in Horizons has meaning for me personally. Every moment I capture and share. I do not take these just for me anymore, I take these for all those that has family and friends that feel the same way I do. Just that simple word called Love.. Those you would like to share the moment with. So thank you for "liking" Horizons. Thank you all for the nice comments. And thank you for letting me share how I see the world. Through the eyes of a child, filled with wonder and awe.
if you look at one side of the story, you run the risk of limiting thoughts and imagination with your knowledge.
question, engage and push!

I had my subject lay in the grass so I could capture her body from top to bottom giving it a different perspective as usual.

I have wanted to do a skewed perspective shot for a while, and this is quite close to what I had in my head. Overall I am pretty happy with it. I also wanted to mess with manual lighting instead of just shooting with ETTL II, so I went ahead and did that here, too!
Critiquing is highly welcome. What would have you done different?

Same subject, different perspectives. This is how I've been looking at life lately. The geek in me says I'm doing a cost-benefit analysis on my life. The writer in me says I'm doing some soul-searching. However which way you look at it, this period of transition will soon be over. Pardon the cliche but I can't wait to take photos of silver linings.
