Perspective WK 16

per·spec·tive [per-spek-tiv]

1) a way of looking at or thinking about something

 

The M4H challenge this week was perspective. I've already posted about Jeddy and the Morp shoot. Now, I'll share my favorite photo and several different ways I processed it. Yeah, I'll show it to you in various PERSPECTIVES.

Origin of PERSPECTIVE

Middle English perspectyf, from Medieval Latin perspectivum, from neuter of perspectivus of sight, optical, from Latin perspectus, past participle of perspicere to look through, see clearly, from per- through + specere to look — more at per-, spy

First Known Use: 14th century

 

  

 2) all that can be seen from a certain point 

This photo takes me to windy desert afternoons with a quiet guitar and the whistle of the wind. She looks dreamy and happy and content. Treat her well, Jeddy. She deserves nothing less than the best. This is how I often imagine her-soft, with fluffy clothes, a flower in one hand, a musician on her other side, hair hiding her face.... it's a nearly perfect photo. If only to see her face some. 

I'm saving this photo. It's gorgeous.   (A comment made by Delaney's mom about this image--which is her perspective)

 archaic

: an optical glass (as a telescope) 

3) a condition in which a person knows which things are important and does not worry or think about unimportant things

 4) a way of showing depth or distance in a painting or drawing by making the objects that are far away smaller and making the objects that are closer to the viewer larger
