Get Pushed Challenge Week 430 - Forced Perspective
This has been, by far, one of the hardest challenges I've faced in a long time. First, I had to come up with an idea. Not thinking creatively about photography this week. Then the first tip, when I researched this, was to have a partner, which I did not. So after many failed attempts (abysmal is a better term for them), this what I came up with. It may not be great, but I quit. I admit it. I quit. Perhaps another time this would work better for me.
love it love it love it!! Quit while you're ahead I say!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks so much Jackie. Yes, I was feeling very frustrated and anxious until I came up with this one. Too nice a day for that!
@craftymeg Thank you Margaret.

You are too hard on yourself! I think there's humour and originality here which is always appealing. AND I hope you don't quit baking!!

Fabulous idea. Now interested to know how the gingerbread loaf turned out and what is the recipe.

Forced perspective is definitely hard to do without another person's help or being at the right place at the right time when nature works in your favor. But I'm impressed you didn't give up and stuck out until you found something that worked for you. good job!

I am not quite sure why you are not happy with us. It is amazing! I am incredibly impressed that you achieved it on your own without help! This one definitely gets a FAV

HI kathy, for get-pushed this week, i would like you to set up a simple still life, maybe a glass bottle or vase with a flower or grasses in it, and a solid object such as a figurine or fruit, shell or rock. Place these near a window in your home and through the week notice how the light changes and take photographs of them at different times of day, just whenever you get a chance. Set your camera to black and white to simplify matters . At the end of the week select one or two of your favorites to show me :)

I think you forced the perspective pretty well! Would love to taste the Gingerbread Loaf! :- )
