    Default  Artistic Assignment #7 (Perspective) COMPLETED!  
      
      

    The theme for this Assignment is Perspective. This has TONS of possibilities, the goal here is to NOT shoot from your normal perspective. Get low, get high (your perspective that is ) just don't shoot at eye level.

    Guidelines (just to keep us all on track)

    * Photo(s) must relate to the Theme in some way. Creative relation to the theme is certainly allowed (and encouraged). Anything that is related in some way is legal.
    * Assignment is finished.
    * Only photos that have been shot within the assignment date range are allowed.
    * No signup is required, participation is encouraged regardless of skill or equipment level (after all, its not the camera, it’s the photographer,)…we’re here to have fun.
    * Photo size limit: 800px on the longest side
    * Basically, photograph however you like and normally do…whatever photography is to you. As many (or few) bodies/lenses/formats//Post-processing as you’d like. Sticking to basic PP is encouraged, tho’.
    * If you’d like, post brief but relevant photo information and note PP (if any) is done (*Free GIMP software*). Maintain EXIF data if possible.
    * Keep comments on topic, constructive, and considerate.
    * Have fun!

    I'll kick this one off. I was at the Whole Foods headquarters today in downtown Austin. On the top level outside is a play area for the kids and some tables and chairs. I had my little pocket Nikon L12 with me and when walking around noticed this cool shot from under some of the shade trellises. I didn't do any PP adjustments yet, so this copy is straight out of the camera.

    I'm not a Whole Foods shopper and that was my first time to the new place. It's really nice! But it's a little pricey and not near our house. I don't know that I've bought anything other than a bottle of wine and some beer from them and that was at their old location years ago.

    The grounds and patio area are really cool, though, for a downtown grocery store. They even put in an ice skating rink on the roof during the winter. Will check that out in a few months now that the kids will enjoy it.

    This was amazingly difficult to take. 5D with the 70-200 f2.8 + 36mm extension tube. Red gel on the flash. Focusing was near to impossible as I obviously couldn't use my eye to check it.

    Not really in line with the assignment, but I was bored this morning and this is all I could come up with.

    yeah, a little bit... We were in Hartford walking to the car after the race. The race shot was shot for this assignment specifically. I also thought it would be a fun and slightly different marathon shot for the runner.

    Saw this little guy walking around so I put the camera down in front of him and hoped for the best.

    Hopefully later this week I'll get a chance to shoot something that might fit this assignment well. It'll be late but it's something I've been wanting to shoot for a while now.

    Yeah I'm hoping for a bit less wet day too. Plus I need to figure out how to do some rigging on the camera to another surprise device.
