Untitled

I must be a masochist as I'm returning to this very confusing photo. Isolated, without those trees there is guesswork, do one see on the snow shapes of eminence or depression. Luckily this longish shadow from bottom left is guiding the mind. But then the tops of spruces bottom right, they are messing up my idea of the 3D reality you have captured. Provided they are upright, still standing then here is a great mystery to my mind. If they were chopped down, then they must be elevated from the ground a lot, IMHO.And the explanation is... your great secret, Wolfgang?

Dear Markku, i like the way you see this picture :-)))

And yes, that's the reason for leaving the trees on the right lower corner - because before i was tempted to cut it for greater carity of expression of the rest. The secret of perspective is lifted as easily as getting up with an hot-air balloon.

My first erxperience with that so far, but definitely my recommondation to try this yourself - you'll love it!! best regards, wolfgang...

Well, seems like you didn't understand my puzzled feeling: those trees bottom right appear being photographed with camera axis horizontal while the rest of the scene the camera axis is downwards from high up hot-air balloon (I myself presumed it being from a ski lift, but this detail doesn't matter at all).

...that's a miracle anyway :-))) it might have been an angle of 60 to 75 degrees, the rest is made up by our imagination :-)) best regards, wolfgang...

our eyes can fool us, and that can be fascinating like in this case. Thanks for further explanation, Wolfgang!
