Hey guys, this assignments theme is 'Perspective'

It can be absolutely anything. The idea behind this is to have fun
General rules apply:

*Photos must be in by 2 weeks of given task - closing date 23rd September, 9pm.
*No old photos. Only photos taken with this task in mind qualify - sorry. Therefore, dated 9th September onwards.
*Photos must be on the given task.
*ONE photo per post. Post as many as you like.
*C&C to be encouraged - but be nice about it.
*Stretch yourself - no limitation to what you can do to produce the image.
*Next task/subject to be chosen by person who has the most thanks after their post (must include a picture in the post ).

And have fun

not really sure about the theme of the assignment. Are we comparing small things with big things or which?

Fairly new here to the SLR scene although i have one for 10 years never really learnt to use it much but it’s been dusted off and back in action again... still learning the ropes. So Apology’s if this seems like a simple question but .... Perspective would be the use of DOF?

A post phemenological statement on the position of the economy in relation to urban signage...

a photographer stands on a street wondering how much money it costs for glazing and barriers that protect those moving within that space from being hit by a tram.

I've just thought that it's worthwhile to mention that I almost never read stickies or the threads higher up on the page on the Photography Forum and it took over a year before I started to participate in the Challenges.

Perhaps other posters simply do not notice the thread and it might be given a more prominant position?

Also, there are many helpful sites on the subject:

http://www.picturecorrect.com/photographytips/207/professional_perspective_depth.htm

Good challenge, btw.

I'd imagine I'm amongst the least creative or imaginative people in the world. Ah well... No harm in trying.

Longshanks, I think that picture is great, though I seem to always like those kind of photos.

Maybe I am taking "perspective" a bit too metaphorically, but this is the best I came up with.

I did a bit of cropping and contrast adjustment in picasa but no photoshopping of the reflection.
