Photo Project 1, 8. Perspective

Perspective... Well the 'weirdest' shots of perspective are normally photo-stitched jobs.


This is a 360 degree view from Hoover Dam taken summer 2011... because of the perspective it looks like the road on the dam is a straight line on the right and also behind the picture going off to the left.

Photo Project 1, 7. Holding an Object

Well rings are held to ones hand with a finger aren't they? Well that's tenuous enough for me!

I've got lots of picture of rings on fingers, but this is a little more special to me... This finger and ring combo happen to belong to my other half, who is now referred to as my wife to be. I'm not allowed to use the F word.

Photo Project 1, 5 Shades of White

Really lost interest with this one... any B+W picture is surely shades of white, there was a lot of snow a few weeks ago and I got a bit carried away trying to capture it melting... but it was hard to work into a single picture.

 
So here's a simple picture of lots of white, which has shades. (From left to right) My brother, our Dad and myself up a mountain skiing for my brother's stag do back in January.

This was a rare chance to get a photo in-between blizzards! And the 10second timer was a real challenge, as I refused to take my skis off.

Oh, and heres a prettier landscape picture from the same trip... looking down on the valley as we descended down the windy road in the French taxi with so many flashing warning lights it looked like the Vegas strip (including the ABS). Anyway, photography came up as a subject of conversation and he pulled over for me to take this shot.
