This week’s topic is Large Subjects. Your large subjects can be anything you want to show off as being large. It could be a matter of perspective. For example a flower with a small bug, makes the flower look huge. Or a photo of something far away and something smaller in the foreground can also look huge. It is up to you view of what is large and appeals to you. The possibilities are endless. Have fun and use your imagination and creativity with this topic.
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. Look for contrast or highly textured subjects to shoot.

MY ENTRY THIS WEEK
Notice how small the people are in this photo.
A huge barn.
A Cargo ship.
Here is an example of perspective of how you change the size of things. The 5 lb. bag of rice (in the back) and the camera remained in the same place. I moved the little 4″ spice containers to give the illusion of size.
Qi (energy) hugs,

The ship and bridge shot is very interesting Cee. The ship is almost as architectural in design as the bridge!

Hi Cee, I started out as a b&w photographer. I used to have my own darkroom.
Photography has come along way since then.
