Tired of the same old, same old, perspective of life. Here’s some alternative ways of seeing things that help snap you out of that automaton existence, that is the day to day.
Sub orbital flight around earth
When catching a plane at altitude turn you head to be horizontal and pretend you are in a context of looking at earth from space. It feels like you are looking at our planet not out of a plane. Photo:marclehmann
Losing your self importance – we are all just ants
Looking down from tall building, planes and mountains is a chance to change your perspective from the day to day macro perspective up to micro. The god like view of things. Photo:kelpenhagen
I’m a fish!
Get you underwater goggles and hop in a pool. Lay on the bottom of the pool. Look up and see the plane of water and sky above. Works best on sunny day and if you can hold you breath reasonably well. Photo:wili_hybrid
Very little visual information
This creates intrigue, assumption and a bunch of other feelings caused by your brain filling in the missing gaps. This shot is taken of my daughter and her friend through the slats of a chair. Photo:marclehmann
Bugs eye view
Get yourself (or your camera) on the ground looking up through the layers of jungle toward the canopy and sky above. Photo:marclehmann
The Blade Runner cityscape
I like this type of photo of Tokyo super city. It gives a feeling of future, excitement, life. Photo:masochismtango
Aura’s
HDR Photography techniques give back an auro to scenes which often the brain or the eye sees but which the camera just can’t capture. The colour intensity gives the world an aura. Photo:_neona_

Nothing like a little twist to reimagine things (and with that, I have a new, better title for my talk next week – thanks!)
thanks. honoured!
Yes, I use a camera to get to know the city and life in general. There is always something to see and learn.
@pong i find that when i look at a scene and then go back and look it from a photo i have taken of the same scene it feels completely different. i guess my brain stores it differently to the camera.
