THROWDOWN: Vanishing Point

[Richard Wood]

A vanishing point uses perspective to add depth to a photo

How about a different perspective. The earth is so flat here that you can actually see the horison bending (following the roundness of the planet) in the distance.

Didn’t get to the end of this road so I don’t know where it goes.

Great photos here. Can’t see the vanishing points in your images in the traditional sense of the term, @tobiepsg and @silverbells but yes, I like the idea and the newer perspective. Cheers!

[Geoff Neville]

True, a slightly different perspective doesn’t make it so. Is this a bit closer to the mark.

[Ritesh Saini]

“The light at the end of the tunnel”! Nice one. This one is indeed less subtle than your earlier post. 🙂

Good throwdown @camerasinger. Love vanishing points! Here’s one from my trip to the US last year… On the way from Yosemite to Half Moon Bay.

I just realized I had a couple of shots to share too. 😀

[Geoff Neville]

Hello Ritesh, I particularly like the center shot. Where is that?

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Hey @silverbells – did you know that if you put a @ in front of the name like @riteshsaini, they will get a notification?

[Geoff Neville]

No I have been trying to copy & paste. @admin see if this works.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

@silverbells – Bingo! 😉

[Geoff Neville]

Ah ha, doesn’t take me long. Haha.

This is a shot of Ambathala creek SW Qld in drought. The water level is up to the base of the trees when the creek is full. When the water level is at this point you can walk across it in most places.

I’ve just subscribed to this thread… These are all great! @riteshsaini That tunnel one is a beauty!

[Ritesh Saini]

Nice shot, @silverbells!

My second shot is from the Kumbh Mela last year, a mass Hindu pilgrimage that happens every three years in India at one of the four places in rotation. Last year it was in Allahabad, and more than 100 million people visited the Kumbh Mela during a period of a month and a half. Interesting trivia- On 10th Feb, 2013, over 30 million devotees were present there- probably the largest human gathering on a single day.

[Ritesh Saini]

Excellent shots there, @thepaparazzo! Love them. And thanks too! 🙂 The ‘tunnel’ in my shot is actually a very long corridor. Cheers!

Multi-Axis vanishing point? It’s all I’ve got for now. Sorry it’s not the traditional way it’s usually done.

Was told photo had leading lines leading to nothing. Guess he didn’t know about Vanishing Point

[Tersha]

I really like the light in this shot, @choctawjake …

[Choctawjake]

Thanks @tersha you have much better taste that the judge.

[Mistyisle]

Some excellent shots here so I venture mine hesitatingly. This was taken in Queens Park, Invercargill, New Zealand.

Very impressive, Dchester ! You could put this one also in the B&W
