When I saw the theme for WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge this week, I immediately thought of forced perspective – not cropping images.
An example of forced perspective.
«Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.» (Wikipedia)

Love it!
Thank you Inge.
You had Tammy Wynette in your flat. I bow to you.
I don’t deserve the bow, because I inherited it from my dad.
Good example!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you Francine. Have a wonderful week!
Arn’t you lucky to know Tammy??
She’s lucky to know me 🙂
Well done!
A great take on this theme.
I love these kinds of shots. Well done.
Very cool.
🙂
Kinda like those Dear Photograph submissions. Nice one, CG.
very nice…and I now have been introduced to a singer, whose songs I can check out! 🙂
I’ll admit that I didn’t knew her music myself. I’ve inherited the album from my dad.
I looked up a couple of her songs on YouTube, but it didn’t make me want to listen to more.
Definitely not my style.
Great shot Cardinal! So good to see you have a woman standing by her man, forced perspective or otherwise!
That’s cool 🙂 I like the different type of thinking. I never listen what they tell me anyway 😀 Tell the wife to lose scarf next time 🙂
She’s my friends wife. I’ll tell him to take care of it! 😀
😀 Good. good night Max…
Good night Paula. I forgot to comment on the never-listen-part: for me it didn’t feel natural to be thinking about cropping images or shooting from alternative angles when I saw that the theme was ‘perspective’.
That’s why I chose a different approach.
Fabulous! I’m sure you’re familiar with Sleeveface – http://www.sleeveface.com – I can get lost in those images! And definitely have spent lots of time getting lost in your lovely images too : )
I didn’t know a bout that site. Thanks for the tip and a great comment!
Nice one!
brilliant! thanks for the smile
