what we pass up along the way

I just realized that I pass up a lot of shots because I don't like the background or some other reason. But now I realize I can open up a wealth of opportunities if I can learn to do this kind of technique using PS.Elements

Car with built in camera

How about a car with a camera built onto the top of the hood?
It could rotate.
Sort of like those google photo cars...

And here I thought I was the first one with this idea, I guess not:

Perhaps this is what a car with cameras really ought to look like:

What the Google Street View car could have looked like

Other van's and cars in the film include a van covered with 15,000 dollar coins and brass objects, a homage to the Dutch painter Mondrian, and an interactive Mariachi inspired music car.

a prevalent photo phenomena

It's not difficult to find photos of photographers...

Seems to be a very prevalent photo phenomena


How about a snowman with a camera?

What's startling to the audience is what sells. Something they've never seen before. That's what I'm trying to achieve.

upsidedown underneath

upsidedown underneath

upsidedown underneath
upsidedown underneath stood the smiling shutterbug,
for art as perspective was the primary goal,
place the camera on a step of a children's sliding board,
then dash around and stand as steady as a pole,
the trees are upside down,
I'm lying on the ground,
said first glance as proper frame of reference stole

This shows different perspectives achieved with reflections, sometimes in places not so obvious at first glance. Of course I need to repeat this with a camera :)

moving background

A moving background versus a stationary photographer:
how much of human life is lost in waiting?


Zooming shot, center only is in focus, that could be a photographer:

If Picasso had a Camera

Can you imagine what it would have been like if Picasso had a camera?
And PhotoShop?

Picasso:
The image “http://online.wsj.com/media/picassomusketeer_DV_20090624163710.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Deer observations

Deer observations

This deer was observing photograph her. I had fun with Photoshop and fixing the image to look half decent. With all the twigs, it was really hard to see the deer in the original.
