Types of perspective in photography

Linear Perspective: 

I chose this photo because all the lines converge to a single point.

Rectilinear Perspective:





I chose this photo for rectilinear because the tree trunks are all straight lines.

False Perspective:



I liked this photo because the lens made the photo appear to buldge out.

Vanishing Point Perspective:



I chose this picture of a narrow bridge for vanishing point because both sides of the bridge seem to come closer together. The other side of the bridge looks far away and the bridge almost seems to vanish with distance.


Height Perspective:



 I chose this photo for height persepective because of how the statue of liberty has less height perspective than the bridge in New York City. The bridge is closer to the horizon which is why it looks so small in comparison. Behind it are buildings even closer to the horizon which makes the buildings appear smaller than the bridge.


Overlap Perspective:



I chose this photo for overlap perspective because the positioning of the rocks gives the appearence of spasce. The rocks are overlapping, which shows distance.

Dwindling Size Perspective:
I chose this photo for dwindling size perspective because the fence appears to get small as it goes further back.


Volume Perspective:



This picture is a good example of volme perspective because the shadows on the leaf and the reflection of the sun near the tip of the leaf, give the illusion that the leaf takes up volume and isn't 2 dimensional.



Atmospheric Perspective:



This photo is a good exmple of Atmospheric perspective because it shows a great range of distance. As the buildings get further away they become hazy and distorted.


Bird's-eye View Perspective:


I like this photo because your eyes immediatly focus on the elphants. Elephants are large mammals, but when seen in birds eye view, they seem so small in comparison.


Worm's-eye View Perspective:

This photo is a great example of worms eye view because it is such a clear spot taken from underneath the flowers. It makes you feel small.


Forced Perspective:


I really liked this photo because of how realistic it looks. The hand looks like it's grabbing a piece of cotton candy out of the sky. This is good for false perspective because it's obvious you can't actually grabs clouds, but the porportions and the angle from which the shot was taken makes it appear real.
