The broader perspectives of photography.

 Photography is not an easy task. It needs hard work, good understanding as well as skills to get confident and take some shorts accurately, so that the one taking it is immensely self satisfied. Though it may take a long time to be a perfect photographer but after having captured some great shots on camera makes one understand the depth of a scene or perspective and hence here are some tips to share which would make photography a perfect one. 

A photograph, a print out or an on screen one is nothing but a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional scene. Thusa 2D picture which is interpreted by our brain to get the actual view. This is nothing but perspective to create a sense of debts through the photographic scale.

Hence a photographer must no all perspectives as at times it may be tricky while taking shorts since an intentional distortions and unwanted shots must be avoided.

How to explain perspective? 

Perspective may be expressed as the difference between things, they are distances and dimension with respect to viewers position preparing essence of depth. Given below are 10 tips to utilise perspective in photographic sense.

1. Blocked view of objects: it is quite evidence that if we see and object is creating hindrance to view another object, it is due to the fact that the partially scene object is at a distance from the object obstructing its view. So, by comparing their sizes one can get an idea of depth.  This is known as overlap perspective.

2. Relative sizes of objects: if the object is small in size our brain interprets it and makes a understand that the object is at a good distance every from the position where the shot was taken. Since the normal sizes of objects such as trees, cars cars, houses, humans are known to us, on seeing a person’s photo say maybe five times taller than a house, from where the photography was done. Thus, our brain interprets the photos of well known objects to let us get the idea of the distances and depth of relative objects in the picture. This is known as scaling.

Some effective photographic tactics are like keeping different objects at various distances from the point of viewing and the creating an illusion where it seems that they are at the same distance from each other as from the camera. This will create some peculiar photographic pictures.

    If their lies a single well known object in a photo it will facilitate as to work out with the sizes of all things in the scene with relation to that well known object. For eg. We can think of the catches of fishermen that they show holding on to their hands. We find that the fishes they holder quite large as compared to the size of fisherman body sizes. Again, if we think of the picture of a man standing emits huge leaves in a forest, stimulates our mind since our eyes and mind are used to see smaller leaves then our figures. 

3. About vanishing point: linear perspective is nothing but it is about how our human eye judges and interprets distances by looking at the lines and planes that converts at a point inside the picture frame as well as outside. 

Photographs of objects when seen using fish eye lenses appears smaller in the ages of photo then it would actually look through naked eye. Again on the other hand the middle portion of the photos looks bigger in size than reality.

  When the viewpoint moves at a distance from the picture, parallel lines appears to be converging at a particular point which is very obvious in photography. For example we nothing of a parallel railway track that seems to converge at a distance.

4. Axis level of lens: all horizontal lines about and below the lens seems to be curved lines where as the lions moving across the lens access level appears straight. From the rectilinear point of view the straight lines in the frame gets picturized as straight line just as the same way we view objects in actual. Regular lenses are actually rectilinear lenses.

5. Projection distortion perspective: pictures maybe deliberately distorted by projection according to the required perspective. The fish eye and panoramic eye views creates projection distortion that results in false perspectives as needed. 

6. About colour contrasts, definition and sharpness: If the contrast is relatively low, due to the phenomena of scattering of light, division of our eyes are not clear and can we cannot see far off objects distinctly. Those things which are at more distances are much complicated regarding their definition due to low contrast as well as scattering of lights along with some other factors. This helps an individual to get actual perception of distance and our brain gets good sense of distance which benefits are to create shorts of far of objects with lower definition and contrast. This is done by altering the field depth. More easier is to focus the camera lens some what shorter than infinity so as to make the object look hazy. It figures out the viewer, a good sense of different objects as well as of depth. 

Objects have lower brightness and contrast feels our brain to think that we are viewing far off objects as compared to the brighter and more distinct object which are comparatively closer.One must think before taking a short that efforts should be on the depth of the scene or not. 

7. Field and focus depth:  Death of field can be altered by regulating the F-stop, focal length and distance. The depth of field (DoF) is used to describe an area where objects appear sharp in picture and those outside the zone looks hazy. However beginners in photography try to make every object in the picture looking sharp. The generally enlarge the DoF with small apertures. Do at times this may work well yet at times it is not the case most photographers does it this way.

8. Separating an object: a good way to get a nice shot is to make an object completely separate from its environment. In certain situations the background is not up to the mark. This issue maybe dealt with using a tiny DoF such that all objects apart from the main object remains out of focus so that those becomes less important in the picture.

9. Compression: white angle lens are immensely used in photography that creates pretty blend looking perspective having little or no definition. Scenes are compressed by debt through a wide angle lens. That’s it is much better to use medium daily lenses that have the capacities to stress on the depths. 

10. About layers: those who prefer landscape photography get excited to shoot pictures of mountains, hence say good step is to utilize the productivity of layers. Search mountain photos dominate the scene and by applying more layers in the background and middle area of depth,one may take real life photos. 

  Some well known objects such as people, trees etc makes the view of shots easy to figure out the estimation of scale. In such cases it is better to have patience unless someone gets into the interior of shot. If not you may ask a friend to stand inside the frame.

   After we have gone through these 10 tips of how to work with perspectives we may use it to give some interesting effects. We will put our focus on them in the next part.

Some ideas on forced perspective photography. 

Forced perspective photography is a technique that is applied to create optical illusions that makes a scene to be of different sizes from different distances from the weaver than it's actual size. It is done to give some special effects to the scenes which is even sometimes funny. 

  Let us elaborate this force perspective photography using some simple techniques and understand the effects. 

This perspective is used to create some false visions by alterations. Let us take the example of a diamond. 

Depending upon the size a diamond is valued of its worth. The cut and clarity doesn’t matter much. On seeing the picture of diamond we need some reference points to get a rough idea about its size. We alter photos of different dimensions for the view are to find the diamond in different sizes or maybe of the same size. 

Most of us have seenthe holding a building ‘leaning on high rise buildings, ‘holding the sun' types of pictures but now we need to make some exciting photos utilising this technique.

  Here are three such waves disk for obtaining forced perspective shots. Apart from these all others are an individuals own choice, like how to use one's creativity and depend on it like a wave of new ideas until no more remains.

Force perspective photography used to manipulate size. 

A size changing photography can manipulate three things such as distance, line of sight and depth of the field. First of all select the subject you want to make view smaller. Please this object far away from camera then the subject which you want to look large. The nearest and farthest position of this two objects will figure out their difference in size. It is quite of wears that more space is required to make huge size differences between the two objects. Thus, to get such space, photography is needed to do outdoors. Want me try using white angle lens about 35 mm to 25 mm range. Make your aperture to a large F- stop value. The 

F-stop depends on distance of two objects. Important is to find out a setting which enables us to get your required subjects within focus.

If your camera has a manual focus function it is good to set the autofocus to one third behind the closer of the two subjects. It is so since the depth of field  too is one third in front of the focal point and two third behind it. If you have got the most suitable focus, then put efforts on living up of the two subjects to bring out the camera in a good working position i.e the alignment of the photo.For eg . If you take a shot wear the first subject is a person and the individual has a hand on the other subject, search a photo needs time to make it perfectly alliance though one minute many shots to make it perfect. It will be beneficial if one uses a tripod to minimise movements of changing position of camera. Time must be spent on two subjects, considering gaps that must get perfectly aligned. 

Forced perspective photos with zero gravity:  By keeping the camera in upside down position this technique can be applied smoothly. One me tell the model to lie down and press the feet against the wall or lean out through doors and windows was to give the effect as it hanging out from them. How clothes are here hang is also important. Maybe the model is wearing some kind of hats or tuck his hair loosely in the jeans.

Yet another important thing is to turn the camera to one side to ensure that it is perfectly 90 degree or 180 degrees aligned with horizon or the buildings ages and ground to get the perfect effect of the illusion created.

Forced perspective photos with merged subject: Nowadays it has been a trained to show old and new photos of a scene in that same place. It is known as merged subjects. So, one needs to line up the old photo with the current scene. Hold the old photo closer to the camera since you need a large F-stop with wide angle lens to put both the pictures in focus.
