My favourite vase (again)

[Tim Tucker]

Woke up to a dusting of snow, so I thought I'd stay indoors.

Thank you for the comments.

This is an interesting one, and (in reference to a recent thread) one about getting it wrong in the camera, or the camera getting it wrong. Not exposure but perspective.

Below is the main uncorrected, (apart from default first stage sharpening, resizing and conversion to jpeg), raw file. The human eye is not only bi-nocular but also sees in continuous motion with memory, something that a camera cannot. When you look at something you move and see around it, you remember it's 3D shape. The camera's absolute perspective can therefore look a little odd sometimes when shooting near objects, especially when you have it exactly level with the top of the vase as seen below. Sometimes the distorted perspective is more realistic than the camera's "truth". The vase was shot from two viewpoints and combined to present a more realistic, though slightly incorrect representation as I wanted to look 'at' rather than down on the flowers. Shot with my Micro-Nikkor PC 55mm f3.5 (not the 28/3.5, I forgot to change the non-cpu lens data again ).
