Two Point Perspective

I had such fun with this theme.  Having no idea what photo to take, I decided to wander around my neighborhood yesterday during the one day of sunny weather we've had in a while, looking for inspiration.  I even started to experiment with different functions on my camera for the first time after having been given a lesson by another fellow blogger a few weeks ago.  This one was taken using a "fish-eye effect."

    Carrie, the fish eye effect just takes this beautiful photo one step further. I love how sharp the focus is on the corner and the people crossing the street and the light all wavy. Very nice.

    Wow, I didn't know you could do that on a camera! I thought it was only done through photo programs, very cool effect and a great addition to our two point perspectives!

    So good Carrie. Love the shadows on the one side which emphasise the twho point perspective. Please - I too would love to know how you took this photo. I thought you could only get this effect with a fish eye lens.

    Verushka - there is a function on my phone that I had no idea existed, but Gemma pointed it out to me during my camera lesson that takes photos using "fish-eye effect." I wish I could say it was my amazing photography skills, but it's really just a feature on my camera that can do this.

      Thank you and Gemma for the explanation. What an intriguing phone. Whatever else does it do? Or maybe I should not ask as I will "ditch" my camera for a phone!

      whoops - should have read your responses more thoroughly and seen you are indeed talking about a camera and not a phone.

    You must have had a GREAT teacher :) I LOVE this photo. Awesome job!
    And Sorry to Jossiemou and Verushka - pretty sure that you don't have this function on your camera. Carrie has a very nice point and shoot that comes with more options than I have ever seen.
