Mountain or a Beach, a little fun with forced perspective photography. Sometimes you have to get down low to the ground and take your photos. It can give a new perspective on what you are looking at and lets the imagination think of a world that is beyond what is right in front of us.

When I see this photo it looks like a mountain range along a lake.

So this is what I imagine. I added a small person silhouette to give it my perspective. But picture him smaller and it will look like a mountain.

All it takes is One spoken word or written to change Ones world into a different perspective then what they have become used to. Or One spoken word or written to destroy Ones world.

This is what it looks like from above.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Manipulating the Perception of Distance

By Sandra | August 13, 2021

Manipulating the Perception of Distance, is possible with forced perspective in photography. It is about making your subject look larger or smaller than it really is.

Perspective in photography is created by the spatial relationship between objects in an image. It’s this relationship between objects that helps us perceive depth, distances, and the size of different elements.

For example, this pink flower looks like a normal size flower because of the angle I took the photograph.

But in reality, it is actually smaller than an eraser on a pencil. Matter of fact, I would not have even seen it if it was not for the bright purple flowers petals that caught my eye.

Forced perspective happens all around us everyday. Not just in photography, sometimes people make things out to be bigger than they really are. How we perceive it is the key to understanding the size of any situation, knowing the facts is crucial. Never be forced to only see the perspective to what others are putting in front of you.

Have a Great Weekend

Forced Perspective Photography

By Sandra | September 23, 2020

Forced Perspective Photography involves two points of interest , These work together to create an illusion. There would be one subject in the foreground, and another in the background. I have been doing this for a few years now, I just did not know there was a term for it.

For example this first photo is just a tree stump by the water. But, having the camera right next to it makes it actually look bigger than it really is.

The rest of these photos I took at the end of August, there was only the one tree with some color.

I find the color blue is a very relaxing color for me. One of the reasons I am drawn to lakes in the early mornings where the water is reflecting the blue sky’s above. I can spend all day at places like this.
