Scaling the heights... by vignouse

Scaling the heights...

On 2 October I posted a shot - http://365project.org/vignouse/365/2014-10-02 - showing one pan of a set of scales in our kitchen which has become the repository for a number of odd items, including the figure of a little clown, which much amused some of you. In fact he has a compatriot, whose normal resting place is the other pan of the set of scales. To avoid any bickering or jealousy between them, here's a picture of the second clown in-situ ;-)

Taken hand-held at 1/25 sec and ISO 3200

Note: The odd, blotchy appearance of the background is an artefact arising from the processing within 365, it is not there in the upload.
He is a cute wee man - how small is he?

@maggiemae From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, about 50mm - the head and shoulders you see here are about 20mm, so not as small as some of the wee figures you see on here.

Hi Richard! I am so very sorry to be so late with this challenge!!! It has been such a crazy week for me! I apologize! I would LOVE to see you do a forced perspective shot...in black and white preferably as I do so love your black and white shots, but color is fine as well! :)

@luvmynynix Hi Laurie - I'll do my best but the rest of my week is going to be rather hectic too... and it's already Thursday as I type this.

Fun capture and composition. I don't normally like clowns, but this little guy made me smile.

Great fun shot. He looks as if he's just scaled a mountain.

I think your clowns would love my Tom Thumb. Great playful post.

Awesome shot. The dof is spot on. I like to scare my wife with clowns. They scare her and I have a lot of fun with it :)

I'm really glad you gave him his moment in the sun!

I wish a little fellow like that lived in my cupboard. Does he wash dishes and scrub pots and sweep the floor?

@catwoman2 No, his assistant does that... when he's not taking photographs!

@vignouse Very funny!
