A Cute Little Lighthouse

My husband Rich pictured with the Concord Lighthouse in Havre de Grace, MD. Thankfully the opportunity presented itself for me to try this technique. It's my first attempt at forced perspective.

Pretty good! =) A little lower angel and he could have stepped on it! ;-)

Oh this is wonderful Val. And so nice of your hubby to help out. I see you and I learned the same thing with this challenge, that increasing the depth of field increases the focus on everything in the "field". Well, we know now don't we? lol

Valfal ^club has replied to Wierd Folkersma ^club

Hehe, yes indeed! I could have also had him pose like the top was poking his hand, because there is a spike on top the ball that his hand is covering. I didn't think of that at the time, but that would have also been funny to do :)
