    Very cool! Nice 1VP entry!
    Had the shot been processed and didn't have the wiper (or whatever is that shadowy thingie) on the left, it would simply be a very nice picture, not just an entry mwink.gif

    Its the propellor :) I'll see what I can do in PS tonight

    Welcome to the Class!

    I love your entries!
    You got me fooled for a few seconds on the first one until I saw that second window. Since VP is supposed to be more prominent in this assignment, simple crop would help a lot.
    #2 is a wall hanger, here and there!
    #3 is a classic 1Vp, also very nicely done!

    I'm glad you could join us!thumb.gif

    While at an event this past weekend (Blue Ridge Boxster Summit), I tried working on some of the Assignments. These are 2 Vanishing Points I was happy with.

    I guess I have to post a pic sometime. Might as well be here, since VP
    is such a good subject. Here's the famous Three Crosses monument in Gdansk,
    Poland.

    I only wonder if it's more like a Straight Up WA, but I guess you can't have one without the other ;-) mwink.gif

    Well yes, that is how the VP came to be. :)

    Thank you for the entry!

    In fact this is one of the rare cases when the darn wires (not sure if you noticed them while shooting, though:-) actually add to the picture, since they create 3D VP. It's also one of the few occasions when the dead center composition fits the bill just right.

    Interesting take! thumb.gif
    I would had it enlarged a bit more and cropped tighter to ensure we're talking VP and not simply reflection...deal.gif

    Oh, I haven't gotten to the Reflection assignment. Didn't know there was one... ;) I'll work on your suggestion and post the changes.

    Bad time of day, I think, sort of flat but still a vanishing point, no? I need to find the lesson on lighting, both using my camera AND an editing program. So much to learn! I appreciate these lessons, will keep learning from them :D

    I wish it was taken with greater DOF though, otherwise VP is not that accentuated, IMHO ne_nau.gif
