This month the challenge is interesting perspectives– which range anywhere from wide angle shots with leading lines and vanishing points to creative illusions such as someone appearing to hold the moon or a child’s hand with a toy in the foreground (making the rest of him smaller in the background). I’m going with the wide angle shots, because it is something I love to do (and because I have a few in my archives. . .). I shot all of these (except the last) at 18mm on my crop sensor camera and converted them to black and white in Lightroom. The lighthouse photo also has a bit of processing in Silver Efex , which I then tweaked in Photoshop.
After you have looked at my photos, head on over to Lisa’s blog to start going around the complete circle!
Here is a beach shot in San Diego from this month.
This is a wide angle shot vertically (tall angle? 😉 ) of the USS Midway, also from our San Diego trip.
This is one from the archives- the Point Arena lighthouse (from our trip to the coast last October). I posted a shot or two of the lighthouse before, but this one is from further back with a wider angle.
And here’s another oldie but goodie that seems to fit the challenge (oldie referring to the photo, not the hubs, who is younger than me and thus not an oldie):

Nice job! I’ve never shot with 18mm, that must be fun!
Very nice shots…appreciate the black and white.
OK , your hubbie looks like a picture from a trilogy or avenger movie……nice work……my favorite is the light house…..post card ready…
What a wide range of perspectives in these shots! The last one of your hubs makes me feel accused of something! 😉
Awesome collection, Melinda! Love them all.
I love every single one of these, very nicely done!
Great work on this month’s challenge! The lighthouse photo is stunning! I used my 28 mm (on a full frame) for most of mine this month so similar to your gear choice. Love the wide angle but struggled with some distortion!
[…] This post is part of a blog circle of women from Clickin Moms. Our theme this month was “interesting perspective”. Hop on over to the west coast and get an eyeful of Melinda’s perspective HERE. […]
And now I want a lens that goes down to 18mm….these are gorgeous!
great response to the challenge…especially love the last two photos!
Melinda as always your photography is awesome. I love the lighthouse scene. I love the way the clouds look in it in contrast to the ocean and I can just imagine hearing the waves beat upon the rocks.
I really love that first one. It has great leading lines.
