Related: About this forum*****October Contest Theme: PERSPECTIVE--look up, look down, move around*****
Perspective in photography can be defined as the sense of depth or spatial relationships between objects in the photo, along with their dimensions with respect to the viewpoint (camera lens or the viewer).
In researching techniques to use to provide perspective in photos, I found some great examples, and advice, in these articles:

Sure, you can change your composition by zooming in or out with your lens, but if you want to change your perspective, you are going to need to move. Dont let your feet, or your tripod, root you to the spot: get ready for some bending, turning, walking, and climbing.

I am going to be traveling from Sept 29-October 6. I will post the thread for Submissions around October 12th and will
accept entries for a week or until 30 entries have been submitted. Preliminaries will run for 3 days and Finals will run
for 3 days.
There's no constraint on subjects for your photos. If you need some ideas for subjects, take a look at the photos
in the links above. Let's keep the post processing to a minimum. Black & White photos and Color are both ok.
Get out there and move around, photographers!

(31,389 posts)You already have the right idea, though, turning something upside down works, too!

(22,380 posts)I have visions and memories of stuff I already have, which is good, because I'm so busy hanging out at Herb's Herbs
But without a doubt, I'll go around my daily stuff with perspective shots in mind and make new photos.
congrats, again mnhtnbb, and congrats also on your choice!!!

(31,389 posts)So, does Herb have some guidance on the future?!?
we are pretty much responsible for our future.
So I never have been one to consult oracles.

(22,380 posts)But we can laugh about it.
I already have my entry. It found me in just a few minutes....
At first I got side tracked and looked at simple ways of "Perspectives" in having vanishing points and such, but then I think I understood what you are after. The showing of the size of something in a novel and integrated way.
We just arrived in Vancouver this morning. No wi-fi on the train. I have a serious case of internet withdrawal!
