Sometimes a very small change in perspective can make a big difference. The five photos featured in this update were all taken from the exact same spot on the boardwalk. Which perspective works the best for you?
This shot was taken from a standing position and at a bit of a slant to make it a bit more interesting.
Here's a bugs-eye view with a mid-range focal depth. The boardwalk nearly converges to a single point at this wide angle.
Same bugs-eye view at higher zoom and a deep focus. I love the line of screws winding down the middle of the walkway and the stand of tall reeds sprouting up like flames over the horizon. This picture didn't do much for me until I cropped it down a bit; now it may be my favorite of the set.
This one brings the focal point up close and personal. This one was my favorite until I cropped the one above.
When I was done laying in the middle of the boardwalk to take pictures I rolled over to get back to my feet and this is what I saw... One of my lovely assistants taking her own pictures despite the very-cold wind!
