An Unusual PoV – WPhotoC

I’ve mentioned somewhere, not too long ago, that my camera is often at an angle. I love taking photos differently… seeing something in an unconventional way adds to the fun, the creativity and the purpose of owning a camera. OK, my opinion but I’ll stick with it. That means this week’s challenge in right up my dirt track. Cheri asks us to show a scene or object in an unusual way. An unusual point of view. 

OK… I won’t waffle much longer… I’ll just throw in a couple of photos taken specifically because I was trying to capture the essence of the photo in an unusual way. My PoV… and I’m sticking with it! Let me begin with the lad taking a pic of the Pac-Man munching the floor lights along the Quays in Dublin. Do feel free to rotate the photo… it doesn’t work any other way… my HPoV… but I’m stick… haven’t I said that before?

OK… let’s look at the Grand Canal Dock from on high. If the photo was taken straight up/ down it wouldn’t look half as interesting, don’t you think?

Staying with thing wet… how’s this pic of the ferry entering Dublin, as seen through the old derrick at the end of the Poolbeg Breakwater…

Back to the streets of Dublin. How about showing you a bit of French chic again? It was such a charming meeting… the rather elegant, reluctant model sure livened up my stroll to the station on that day!

Sexy or what? Sorry… only my PoV. Right, enough of that. Back to the stark angularity of modern buildings. Stand close enough and you’ll get a totally different point of view. See the angles, see the reflections… see whatever your mind wants to allow you to see…

Then, on occasion, one can soften the effect of the industrial landscape by adjusting the PoV… why not? There’s beauty wherever one looks…

Train and rainbow… does this equal trainbow? Who knows… who cares about this PoV? Is it that different?

On the odd occasion one doesn’t need to create an angle. All one needs to do is look at the photo from another photographer’s point of view, something I’m fond of doing. This lad was only too happy with me taking pics of him appreciating the stunning sunset last October.

I’m sure you’re getting a tad fed up now of seeing my point of view on life in the not-so-fast lane… I’ll soon leave you be. Not without another shot of my latest models. I’d better not use their photos too often, soon they’ll be famous and I’ll have to pay exorbitant fees for getting them to see things from my point of view…

Thanks again, all who volunteered for photos… even if it was with sheer reluctance. Do please return tomorrow. I’ve written something that just seemed to happen into my head while I was preparing this weekend’s posts… late at night, The Floyd’s Wish You Were Here stirring the ideas…
