What’s Your Perspective? (Eclectic Corner #12.1)

Tell me…

Scary or exhilarating?

To see the world from this perspective??

Photos taken one weekend late afternoon from the carpark of Dreamworld on the Gold Coast.

EDIT – I just found out about the roller coaster accident in the UK. My heart goes out to those injured. X

Submitted to Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective (Photography). Justine defines perspective below. I’ve kind of combined the two definitions into one 😉

1. the art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.

2. a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view.

Do you have a photo for Perspective to share? Drop by Justine’s Corner and join the fun.

I’m submitting these photos to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – come by and visit, there are over 500 photos there from some very talented people.

                    Yes that’s true. Very bad one. But I heard that the kids are in hospital.
                    Don’t feel bad about it. It’s a coincidence. You did nothing wrong.

    My only perspective would be from the ground. I have never been on a roller coaster and don’t intend to change that any time soon. The UK accident today convinces me I have the right perspective on that!

    Photos are amazing on a event that as you know is miraculous. So much has to be just perfect. Have you seen the test that a rollercoaster has to endure before it is ready for the adventurous riders. Terrible when an accident happens.

    I’ve always had mixed feelings about roller coasters – I don’t hate them but they’re not something I’d go out of my way to ride. After the accident at Alton Towers, though, I think I’ll be steering clear of them for the forseeable future. Great shots. 🙂

      Thanks Deb. When I saw it through the lens, I knew I wanted to make it black and white to really simplify it. The sky was very blue and the roller coaster is a pinky-red very like Lucile’s bridge.

          I hear that! I’m sitting by my window in a teeny tiny sliver of sunlight but I can see the cold dew on the grass outside. Not quite frost here in Brisbane (😁) but close enough. It was 6 this morning!!
