Perspective is everything....

[Philmar]

Almost 4 years ago we moved close to Toronto's beach. I found a new muse: Leuty Lifeguard Station which I visit night and day, summer and winter.

Hard to believe but this is the same beach lifeguard station in all these photos. But it is. It shows how differing point of view, perspective, lighting and compression work to create different looks of the same subject, even with large static objects.

A great exercise for photographers is to take photos of the same subject with the purpose of creating different interpretations.

My wife keeps asking how many photos I plan to take of the building as I often get up before dawn to greet it. I doubt I'll ever tire of my muse.

Great photos and nice anthology. As a newbie I like when someone gives me a new perspective on photography.
Thanks,

Your creativity proves that no one is limited by location.

Thanks everyone...I've been hampered by poor wifi here in Mexico and wasn't able to respond.
Here is one I took of my muse just before I escaped the first cold snap.
