Location: Boynton Beach, FL Year: 2016 Camera: Canon Digital Lens: Canon 24-105mm L This "mountain" scene was actually a couple of piles of construction sand. Each was about thirty feet high. When isolated from their surroundings, and photographed from a low angle, the illusion of “extreme” height is achieved. The illusion of “snow” was created by a rain shower that had stopped about an hour earlier. Different areas of the sand dried at different rates. The areas in direct sunlight, dried sooner and give the appearance of snow, compared to those areas that stayed wet longer. This is especially true on the far right side. The large clouds add to the illusion.
Location: St. Petersburg, FL Year: 2022 Camera: Sony Digital Lens: Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G I couldn't resist taking this image. I was attracted to the mix of "reality" and "painted on" features, which the French call "Trompe l'oeil".
Location: Waxhaw, SC Year: 2013 Camera: Panasonic Digital Lens: Panasonic 14-45mm f3.5 I found this subject right off of Main Street in the town of Waxhaw, NC. This building and its facade have recently been renovated. The building is now a working wood shop.
