Perspective is key: Week 26 photos

Whether at eye level, from below or from above, each perspective has its own special characteristics and advantages. For example, if you want to make something look heroic or noble, you should choose a lower position. Conversely, if you want to make your subject look small and vulnerable, for example, you raise the shooting position. There is something normal about a photo taken at eye level, because this is how you see the world around you every day. But that doesn’t mean the image is boring or doesn’t say anything important.

In the gallery our photographers showcase different perspectives that can inspire you.

Aerobatic Flying Squadron

Photo by Thomas Eggenberger (Thofotomas) Aerobatic Flying Squadron Made during a visit to Urban Classics on Lake Constance at the end of May. “In addition to classic vintage cars, you can also see motorcycles, trucks and tractors, as well as historic ships in the harbor and aircraft at the various air shows. Plenty of subjects to photograph. The photo shows the initial formation of the aerobatic show of the Swiss Air Force PC-7 team,” he tells us.

The shot itself looks like something out of an action movie. The symmetry created by the skillful maneuvers is very impressive. Our gallery photographer chose the perfect position to capture these scenes perfectly.

running in heaven

The vinculum in his photo also works I’m running to heaven, With a perspective that is below the main object. The ground on which the shoes stand appears transparent, and the sky forms a background that makes the scene seem surreal. The white border around the image makes it look like a postcard, framing and portraying the subject pleasantly.

We can only speculate about its origins. But the photographer probably used a plexiglass pane and stood underneath it with his camera – a creative approach with an obvious result.

Look up

“I was in Osaka the other day and took photos of tall buildings near the central station. At one point I tried to photograph several houses by looking at the sky. (…) It worked with the smartphone and (…) the super wide angle is good,” Eric Fischer (Erfi) wrote to us about his photo Look up,

When you look up at the sky, you almost feel trapped between the buildings. One reason for this is that although the sky provides a vanishing point for one’s vision, one’s attention remains focused on the houses.

Balconies GI – from below

Jean-François Pallaro (JeanFP) creates with his photo Balconies GI – from below A minimalist look with a twist. “The umbrellas gave a kick to the dull aspect: the horizontal lines in black and white and the two coloured (round) umbrellas were a contrast and eye-catching.

Blue 1

“The photo was taken as part of my membership in the ‘Erkelenz Photo Group’. For our regular meetings we determine the themes that need to be implemented. The theme here was ‘The Color Blue’. Since cornflowers bloom in mid-June, the choice was made (…) To further underline the theme and give the picture some dynamism, I quickly laid out stripes on the paper with watercolor and photographed the cornflowers at a short distance in front of them,” says H.

The photo has the appearance of an art installation to some extent and has a calming effect, which is enhanced by the perspective at the level of the flowers and the not too strong blue of the watercolor.

SONHOUI1I

This picture looks like a thriller or horror movie SONHOUI1I By rad.O…. It is mainly the light and fog that create this eerie atmosphere. This creates silhouettes of the trees that frame the smaller tree in the background and draw attention to it. In addition, there is something unusual about the shape of the trunks and branches, which adds to the discomfort when looking at the photo.
