Parfait

This picture unfortunately isn’t as sharp as it could be, I think because of the supposed auto-focus problems that seem to plague the Sigma 30mm ƒ/1.4 EX DC HSM, but I really like everything else about the photo, so it had to go up. Oh, and yes, we did eat this afterwards.

Lensbaby Freakout

Wrapping up my unofficial “lensbaby week” (of course there will be lots of Lensbaby shots in the future — don’t fret) is this bizarre shot. Needless to say, a normal camera perspective was NOT used to capture this. That’s one of the main reasons I like it.

Light and Design

It’s always a pleasure for me to see small pieces of greater wholes that are eye-catching. It reminds me that there are artists and designers working, even on a level that might not be noticed everyday, to make things beautiful. These nuggets of design are something that fascinate me, and I’ve tried to capture one here, from perhaps an unusual perspective.

Though I haven’t studied photography, I am human, and I have noticed that there are certain perspectives I rarely see. I’m usually looking at the world from about 6 feet, or 185cm up (which often means looking right into a doorframe in Japan). In general though, people don’t look up at things, or get down low. It’s too much trouble. So there’s an incentive for a photographer to present this unusual perspectives, because they might be new or exciting to the viewer. So that’s what I’m doing here. It shouldn’t be too hard, but can you guess what this is? Answer after the jump.
