May 2012 - Transportation

My entry for the May challenge - Transportation
The Elizabeth River Ferry
Nothing brand new, but recent and never posted. Always something on the river.

There was a tugboat passing on the port side and I edited it out.

March Entry (Perspective)

My entry for the March 2012 Challenge - Perspective

I'd rather have an image with two vanishing points, one on either side, but this will have to do.

Hurry and get your entry in for voting.

After I thought about it, I decided the above image was more a "Vanishing Point" type than a "Perspective" study.  So, with that in mind, here is something more fitting.  It's an oldie that I found and toyed with.

Perspective Illusions

Not for voting.  FYI only.
I usually associate 'perspective' with leading lines, but here is an example I did years ago using 2 different lenses and changing distance-to-subject to get 4 unique images.
Hopefully I can put on my thinking lens and go out a create something new for the Challenge.  I replaced my stolen D-70 with a D-40 (couldn't wait for the D-4) along with a 55-300 VR lens.  Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Clyde

House same size, kids appear closer.

Reflections

Although this doesn't qualify, I'll post it here for grins.  I'm trying out a new Flickr/Blogspot interface.  This was one of my most favorited.  When I get my replacement camera, lookout for bigger and better images.

The Tulip

The Tulip, a photo by Olde Towne Photos (Clyde) on Flickr.

So you won't have to break your neck reading this, I've printed it here:
~ The Tulip ~
Tossing turban style contours, with an aloofness as one passes by,
Utilizing every charm it possesses, under a lupin blue cloudless sky,
Like a guardsman, gallantly standing, holding up his noble head high,
In rainbow colours, brilliant and stately, a vision to surely yield a sigh,
Ponder thus upon the regal tulip, it has pure beauty, you cannot deny.

The Tulip ~ by Ernestine Northover

Having to turn the print to read the verse, causes it to yield three different views. Purely accidental. :-)
