He Loves Me

Jay is handing me a flower. Theme this week is forced perspective. I think this is one of the hardest challenges yet. I had a lot of ideas but couldn’t find a way to pull them off @shutterbug49 Debbie

Debbbie this is brilliant!! its certainly a genre that requires at least two people to pull it off I think! How did you get this?? love it. (jackie)

@thedarkroom Everything I thought of needed 3 people. So I cheated. I made Jay 2 people. I shot it with him far away and with him in the same pose but much closer to me. I masked out everything except his hand and the flower in the closeup and then superimposed the large hand and flower over the small hand and flower in the distant shot.

@shutterbug49 a very clever get around Debbie. But yes- three people would be advantageous.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Normally, I could get our photo club involved, but we are on lockdown again for a few months so can’t gather in our community. One member did do a neat shot with the flag pole holding up the full moon.

I agree that this is absolutely brilliant ! I find the starting idea fantastic and the result very touching..

[Diana]

@shutterbug49 what a creative solution! I think you have done a magnificent job of portraying this. Figuring out the mechanics is often the hardest part and you have done a superb job

@ludwigsdiana @etienne @koalagardens @wakelys @grammyn @randystreat Thank you. This was definitely something new for me, but I enjoyed this challenge.

Got to "hand it to you" - you nailed the challenge.
