sprouty Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I�ve been trying something recently with a skewed perspective, and was looking for some feedback from the forum. The images below will show what I�m talking about but to clarify, my intention was to have one element oriented more or less in a way we might expect it but then to have something else in the image, acting as a reference perhaps, to cause a sort of visual puzzle. These are single exposure images and not constructed in PS or manipulated (other than levels, contrast and a bit of un-sharp mask). Interesting or is it just too obvious? Any thoughts?

travis1 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Stephen, it is obvious that it is interesting. ;) I think you need a little contrast for that 1st pic though. More to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_merrigan1 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I like them. The effect is more obvious in the first. It shakes thing up a bit. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph_barker Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 <p>Visual puzzles can be fun. The first one (beach) works, but the composition could be improved, I think. (Also, you might check the calibration of your monitor. Your levels are way off.) The composition of the second one is too loose, in my opinion. </p> <p>Speaking of chipping away at different perspectives:</p> <center> <img border=2 src="http://www.rbarkerphoto.com/misc/Misc-Stuff/CornChips-500.jpg"> </center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers_. Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 To take it a step further, trip a preset camera from ground level or overhead - no viewfinder. It'll be crooked, and the different perspective will likely generate a higher rate of losers but the keepers are stronger. Some hate the twisted look - but they'll watch TV while lying on the couch.

ray . Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 It's hip shooting. Nothing new about that. The first image works pretty well and I like the second mostly for the image of the plane and its relative size in the frame... Coming in for a landing?

sprouty Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I should have mentioned the poor prints and scans. I switched printers and ended up saving 50 cents a roll and getting dull gray prints with low contrast. So much for that experiment, well live and learn I guess. One other thing I want to mention is that I was trying for something a little bit more than a completely skewed perspective from a hip shot or random framing (not that I don�t appreciate that aesthetic). The idea was to have two elements play off each other, each seeming to have it�s own plane of reference. I�m not sure that makes sense, but it seems to describe what I was after. And again thanks for the comments and for posting the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
