I wasn’t sure if I was clear on the concept of perspective. I understand what it means as it pertains to drawing. I googled and found perspective distortion in wikipedia. A link at the bottom of the article took my to Kevin Willey. OK, so I tried to set up something similar and well, I didn’t get what I was looking for. The problem is my telephoto won’t photo so close and I didn’t have enough room to back up. But you can see the results of just using my wide angle zoom and the shots taken at 23mm and 54mm.

I am posting this and I go to find the sites for the links and google. This time I am on my desktop and the results are a bit different. Weird. Anyway, here are a couple of more articles about perspective which I think are worth reading.

Hmmm…I have no perspective on perspective. Thank you for the example and the links, Sharon.
What a great example of perspective!
Reminds me of my farm on Farmville, although I’d have to substitute a horse for the zebra. :)
Hmm I am going to have to go read those articles. I love your little zebra though :)
Gotta go see these articles – great examples!
I’ll have to go do some reading also! tfs
Very cool perspective! I’m going to have to read up on those links as well. Thanks for the share Sharon!
Nice! Since I know so little, perspective is something I need to learn. Off to visit the links. Thanks!
