This is a club in which the pictures you submit must have a interesting perspective. This could be something shot at a noticeable angle (such as a Dutch Angle), an extreme close up/macro, bokeh or reflection.
Basically it is just shooting or editing a photo to make it look as if it is taken from some way OTHER than the head on way we normally see them at eye level point of view. What we mean by a " interesting perspective" is more how-this-picture-was-taken than conceptual. Yes, it might be a kind of perspective to look down a narrow corridor but if it is at eye level it won't work. Another example of something being accepted into the gallery is editing to have an interesting angle: for example, flipping a picture upside down, sideways, or any other noticeable or extreme rotation.
But mostly we are a club about having fun with art!

Hey all, Sorry it has been so long since you have heard from me. I have been going through a lot personally. This past fall I found out I had breast cancer. I wont go into a lot of details but it is a stage 2 and  emotionally... It has been like being strapped in a roller coaster that your not allowed to get off of.
While I am currently undergoing chemotherapy and then will have to get radiation, I am grateful that the cancer was found early enough that my chances of survival are very high.

I do regret I had not gone a few months earlier for my mammogram when I was told to, instead of putting it off.  But I never thought cancer could happen to me. I am far to young. It doesn't run in my family. I eat healthy and don't smoke. But you never know what life has in store for you. Still had I gone when I should have, maybe they could have caught it at a stage 0 or stage 1. Which would have been better treatment wise. And just goes to show that women should get a mammogram as soon as they turn 40 and go every year on time.

I am OK over all. I had time to deal with it. Chemo is exhausting and confusing. My memory lapses and food tastes different. I lost my hair but got a cute wig so I don't have bad hair days anymore. So, that's good. I am still working full time as much as I can, for as long as I can.

I still visit DA when I can but find I don't have a lot to say right now. But the club still goes on. True some submissions might have expired before my Admin or I got to them. If so, please resubmit.  Also, in the next few minutes I will be opening the Spring Theme week gallery. You all know what to do.

Much love and good health to all,
Raia

What will be Accepted
Perspectate art could be something shot at a noticeable angle (such as a Dutch Angle), an extreme close up/macro, bokeh or reflection. Basically it is just shooting or editing a photo to make it look as if it is taken from some way OTHER than the head on way we normally see them at eye level point of view. What we mean by a " interesting perspective" is more how-this-picture-was-taken than conceptual. Yes, it might be a kind of perspective to look at something conceptually but we are more about visual than conceptual. Also, based on this criteria most macros do get accepted but not all close ups (depending on the nature). It helps you to know the difference. An example of something being accepted into the gallery is editing a picture to have an interesting angle: for example, flipping a picture upside down, sideways, or any other noticeable or extreme rotation.
But mostly we are a club about having fun with art!

If your art is not accepted please accept that.
Questions asking why it was not submitted will be addressed but please don't argue about it.
Chances are if its rejected its because it doesn't fit what we are looking for. It is not personal.
Please be selective about what you submit, if you really don't think it is good or definitely not following club theme, why would you give it to us?

P.S. Please, please, please do not send in 3 very similar (or the same)pictures!

Rules

We ask that only THREE submission per day, per member.
Your art can be photos or drawings/paintings. Possibly other media if it fits in somehow with the club theme of perspective. I don't know what that might be yet but hey, give it a try.

Please be courteous to your fellow members. When giving comments, please be Helpful not Hurtful.
