Black & White Sunday: Perspective and Anti-Perspective (response to Guest Challenge)
This post is my response to guest challenge hosted by Tobias. His theme is perspective and anti-perspective. Please read his post to get an idea what you are supposed to do.
And here is my entry:
Perspective
Anti-Perspective
To join this week’s Black & White challenge, read Tobias’s post (he is my host today) and link to this or his post. Your entries will be displayed here and linked to. Have a happy and productive Sunday!

Oh yes, it’s a bit tricky. But I like the way y’all understand that perspective is not a given in photography – not even in this medium.

As Tobias says Perspective, Geometry and BW go hand in hand.

Tobias, I haven’t looked at his work since you first mentioned him. I am happy you like my response. The anti-perspective one is a shot of my lamp reflected with a bit of editing. You have really given me food for thought here. I have to say that yours is the most original challenge. I hope you have more ideas for us, and that maybe you’d like to host one challenge in colour some time in the second half of the year? Please, let me know.

In Warsaw. Looking out through dense foliage to the multimedia fountain, and up to old buildings. Slept around the clock, and jet lag is held at bay. J’s cooking lunch, and I’m yet to see family who are away for the mayday weekend. About to begin blogging at warsaw2015.wordpress.com. Hope you feel as good and as satisfied.

This is my favourite guest challenge so far. It has made me think more than others, and I am very grateful to have met Tobias. Today I received another mail with a guest challenge contribution so I will have to publish three guest challenges this month, which is funny cause I will be away 8 days too. Things are very busy here; it starts to look like work.

I love your perspective shot Paula, it’s very nice with the reflections in that ball and it works well as a B&W photo.

That ball is actually Saturn – this time it wasn’t me who named it. In my town there is entire solar system with representative planets in scale and positions to imitate actual planets. Too bad there are always crowds around the sun so I haven’t been able to capture it, but some day I’ll do my best to track down all planets around the city, and to write a post about them 🙂 How does that sound?

If you come to Zagreb, you’ll probably stumble upon “sun”. Saturn is a bit off the usual paths.

How could I possibly not like your entry? I truly admire your ability to “see” with the third eye, depicting complexity with utmost sophistication and presenting them in simple images, full of beauty.
Thanks.
PS. I should have thought a little harder for my entry…

You are kind, Lucile. Tobias’s challenge was a real challenge for me. It’s the first time that I tried to produce something with no perspective 🙂 Would you be interested in hosting a B&W photo challenge (Sunday) in August or some other month in the second half of the year?
LikeLike
You did very well despite the challenging time.
Wow, I’m humbled by your invitation.
You have such high quality people and professionals, as guest posts. I’m just an amateur that love portraits and street photography that tell stories.
If you want to go out of the box, I’d be honored to do so. We can talk about that after your vacations.
Thank you.

Of course I want to go out of the box, and I respect and admire your work and most importantly, I think that you can offer a lot to the audience here. As for other guest bloggers here: they are an eclectic mix – some of them are not even amateur photographers – just happy snappers which you will see :D. Now, I hope you won’t mind being in this mixed (up) company. And thank you, Lucile. P.S. I had a lot of time to prepare for the perspective/anti-perspective challenge. On this link https://bopaula.wordpress.com/scheduled-challenges/ I publish all themes well in advance so that everybody interested can prepare for it. 🙂

Then I should choose a theme from the list above it, right?

August would be great, Lucile. The themes that I put as suggestions is what I am having in mind for the rest of the year.
