Depth on a flat surface

People with normal eyesight see the world around them in 3 dimensions. This helps us to play with a ball and drive safely. It makes the world we see so beautiful!

A camera "sees" the world in 2 dimensions - as if on a flat surface. Fortunately there are many ways to create the perception of depth in a photo.  Looking back, I notice that in recent months I have posted many photos that lack a perception of depth.  The photos of this post bring some correction.

Reflections

Image
Photos with reflections are often appealing or striking.  Experts recommend using reflections to change a straightforward photo into a much richer image. Are reflections so appealing because our minds are immediately fascinated by the similarity (or the incomplete similarity) between the subject(s) and the reflection? But then again, the subject that is reflected can be absent. Maybe it is our subconscious attraction to water - which is often the reflecting medium - that makes reflections appealing?

Sunflowers

Image
Sunflowers seem to be popular in art for a very long time and also in various cultures. The flower represents many positive motives (happiness, hope, love, etc) and evokes positive feelings. That is not surprising, for sunflowers are such beautiful flowers! Sunflowers - with their wide open faces - remind me of people: gorgeous in their youth, charming adults and captivating with a life fully lived. Click on the images to view them in full.

Shining through

Image
Seashells are being used in some lamp shades. Light bulbs are also placed inside big seashells. In this way seashells' colours, which we see differently when light shines through them, can be enjoyed. The seashells used in these ways are beautiful and without obvious flaws.   It is fascinating to look at seashells more closely with light shining through them. Those seashells that have been exposed to waves and sand for a long time and are worn down (in other words, seashells with flaws), show delightful and beautiful detail.  Click on the images to view them in full.  Previous posts with photos with similar technique:  https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/backlight.html https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/last-leaves-of-autumn.html (first photo) To comment, follow the link, "Continue Reading", to open the blog.

Textures

Image
"Texture" refers to the visual and touchable property of a surface.  In photographs textures are often one element of the composition. Texture could appeal to your imagination: how would it feel when touched?  It could also communicate feelings (emotions).   I am often fascinated by textures and then I try to capture the characteristics of that texture.
