Forced Perspective Play: Catching the Sun

Six Word Story

Taffy and I were out on a photo walk, photographing the sunset while hoping to see the Super Moon Rising. Instead, we separately played with forced perspective with the sun. I pretended that the hook on the fishing boat in the foreground had "hooked" the sun, whereas Taffy imposed a Queen Anne's Lace flower on top of the sun: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-08-14

Two very different takes on the same sunset! Such fun to have a photo buddy.
It was a great walk. I love that our 'great minds thinking alike' happened with these two photos. Of course, I love yours -- sun hanging by a crane!

Wow, this is so amazing. What a great shot. Love the colors of the sky and water. Wish I was there to learn this and join in. How fun to have each other to take photos with, especially the two you took. FAV

It takes a lot of work to lower the sun each night by that crane. :) Love the perspective!

This is beautiful and creative, like the rest of your project! My challenge for you is to take a low-key black and white shot because you have a lot of bright colors or lighter black and whites (which I love by the way!) Let me know if you've had this before or it doesn't work for you.

@ryanarra2 The mere fact that I couldn't explain to my husband what low-key is means I need to work on it for sure! Thanks for the challenge. I'll be working on this.
