April 2013 "Theme" Contest


Place your photos in this thread


Quote:

Rules To The "Theme" Contest


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discussion continues here: Photography Contests - Overall Discussions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your pictures in the appropriate thread.

Please read the appropriate DISCUSSION THREAD to be up to date before posting. You may post as many photographs in the discussion thread but the actual contest thread is limited to one photo.

The theme of the photo you enter in the "Theme" contest is determined by the winner of the last contest.

To be able to stay on a monthly schedule, the last day for submitting entry photographs will be five days before the end of the month, ie, if the month ends on the 30th then photos must be submitted no later than the 25th. If the month ends on the 31st then photos must be submitted no later than the 26th. Etc...


There are 30 days in April 2013, so, entries will end on April 25th, 2013.
The poll will be opened the day after the last day for submitting entry photographs.

Only users who have been registered on City-Data over 30 days and who have at least one valid post may enter the contest or vote on the contest. (Rule added Feb 3, 2012)

One photograph per contest and one vote per member.

You must have been the person who took the photograph which is entered. (Rule added Apr 1, 2012)

All photographs must have been taken within 30 days of the date you submitted them.

You may not vote for yourself.

If desired you may add your ©copyright signature to your photograph when sharing over the internet.

Please add the title of your photo and any information that you want to share. We do enjoy knowing. The title is needed/placed in the Poll.

You have 90 minutes to alter/edit your post. If you need help with the title or information, just DM me Poncho_NM and I will fix it for you.

Do not use the entry thread for discussions, until after a winner has been announced. There is a separate thread to be used for discussions.

If you have an suggestions, you may DM me Poncho_NM .

Thanks and good luck!
The theme for this April 2013 'Theme' contest is:

In photography, many elements affect perspective, including relative size, shapes, and distances, sharpness, color quality and/or contrast, linearity, the existence (or absence) of vanishing points, even the very orderliness or lack thereof of a scene can affect perspective. Perspective also helps us interpret a 2-D scene of a three dimensional world, and can alter our expectations what we see. In short, Perspective influences our view of reality. So give us your best examples of perspective for the month of April, and may the best example win.
So the theme is"perspective" - As described above


Lets begin posting!

Default The Batmobile!



New Mexico Firefighters Fundraiser To Benefit The St. Baldrick’S Foundation March 16th, 2013 at The Santa Ana Star Center, Rio
Rancho, NM.

The model is actually standing 8 feet away from the Batmobile, pretending to have her hand on the fender.


EXPLANATION: This is Overlap Perspective - Another clue to distance in a photograph is overlap perspective. When subjects within
the picture are on about the same line of sight, those objects closer to the camera viewpoint overlap more distant objects and
partially hide them. It is obvious to the viewer that the partially obstructed object is behind the unobstructed object. This overlap is
repeated many times within the picture and gives the viewer a sense of depth and a perception of the relative distance of objects.

Default The streets of Sayulita

Here is an example of vanishing point perspective. I took this exactly one month ago today in Sayulita, Mexico (I really could use to go back there-it snowed here in Oregon yesterday)!
