A Change in Perspective (Finally)

boats at the harbour in Fortaleza, Brazil (2008)

Funny how you don't know how much you need/ want  a change of perspective until you get one. (More on this later - I'm late for family day dinner.)

Above are some experiments with tilt shift inspired by Sam.  These look way better bigger so click on each one and a larger version will open in this window.

I totally thought these were dioramas. I was confused for a while; thought, "Alyssa? Crafting?"

Lisa said...

Okay, I still don't understand. Especially the first one. ALYSSA, YOU AMAZE ME.

Marco: I thought you were my inspiration?

Lisa: You're right to think it odd. No dioramas for this guy.

PG: Flattery from a fellow photog like yourself is mucho exciting. Thanks!

Catherine: They do look like miniatures don't they? That's the magic of tilt shift!!!
