This week’s challenge is all about experimenting with placement and scale to put into perspective the size of objects in a photo, to show how big (or small) you can feel in a photo.
In the featured image, the focus was placed on the cast iron pot and the perception is created that the lid being held above it, is too small to fit. In fact, it looks as if the lid, if lowered, may sink under the surface of the yogurt and disappear.
The next image is a snippet from a video that we captured of a mother whale and her small calf playing in the ocean, with the baby imitating the mother’s movements.
The next one is an image of the Umzimkulu River bridge captured from the direction of the Spiller’s Wharf. The vehicles and catamaran look like toys in comparison to the large bridge.
On a recent visit to the Umzumbe Beach, this photo was captured from the top of the pathway leading down to the beach from the parking lot. Notice how small the holidaymakers on the beach and the two security guards (in red coveralls) appear from that distance.
We passed this land vehicle on the road in a farming community during a recent road trip. My first thought was “Smart Tractor” (as in “Smart Car”) and then I saw the contrast in size between the two sets of wheels.
This tyre (tire) in which I was seeking shelter against the hot African sun on the Mtwalume Beach, is the same size as that of the vehicle on the previous picture.

Moeilike onderwerp maar hier gee jy ‘n paar mooi idees.
HesterLeyNel
Dankie, ek het gaan loer wat doen die ander mense en gesien die vertolking is taamlik wyd, so ek het ook so ‘n losse interpretasie gegee.

Hehehehe ja persepsies verskil

Hester I do love your photo posts, then again you know that đ The whale and her calf is both a beautiful photo on its own then the viewer realises the youngster is following its mums lead, learning how to be a whale.
HesterLeyNel
Yes, and it was wonderful to watch how carefully it copied her every move. It looked like they were dancing together đ

En hier leer ek sommer ook vandag op jou blog hoe om ‘te kyk’. Perspective.

Gedink terwyl ek lees… en kyk… jy is baie slim. Ek sou nie ‘n cookin clue gehad het wat om te plaas vir so ‘n onderwerp nie đ Welgedaan!!! Ek sou dink dat jy in daardie band wat so groot op die foto lyk verdwyn het wanneer jy in hom sit.
HesterLeyNel
Ons het as kinders met die groot bande gespeel – mekaar teen die bult afgerol tot onder by die kerkhof. Haha. Ek dink kinders het spesiale beskermengeltjies, want nie een van ons het ooit seergekry nie. Dankie vir die kompliment đ
