Watery Wednesday 4
You can see the other Watery Wednesdays here
As with yesterdays post I was once again squeezing out the last bit of light !!
I was on my way home to Cambridge from Cumbria and can’t actually remember where this was!
This first shot is pretty enough I suppose but that’s not really what interests me.. take a look at the bottom 2 shots

The right way up

When I turned the photo upside down it became much more interesting to me.
Now it looks to me like the crater of a volcano filled with water.

That’s really cool how that looks upside down!
Isn’t it just!.. I think I may try rotating all my photos from now on…just in case !
Yeah, I was thinking I have a few that may look pretty interesting flipped.
Always worth a try Michelle 🙂
Great tip. I’ve got some picture right now that I’ve been looking at rotated (try 90 degrees too).
Thanks Bill.. though photo editing is time consuming enough! I may have to limit myself to the occasional twist 😉
Great effect with the rotation! I love water photographs and these are lovely!
Thank you Mimo..
Love the orientation.
Thanks Elena..it’s cool isn’t it ? 🙂
I do like the concept of rotating perspective around and looking at things differently, but I gotta say that “pretty enough” shot at the top is where I want to gaze endlessly…the setting sun accentuates the distance of the trees and countryside across the water in a way that fuels a dreamy lust for adventure…what if I could follow the sun wherever it’s going tonight?
Thank you Scilla…I love that you are SUCH a romantic!
That’s a very interesting effect you got by turning the picture.
Thanks… I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it!
THAT is one crazy optical illusion! I can’t figure out how it works!
I even downloaded the photo so that I could manually rotate it and I still can figure it out.
Right side up, it’s clear that the water is flowing left-to-right and it falls about 6-8 inches, I’d guess, creating a convex arc.
Turn the photo 90 degrees counterclockwise and the convex arc is still detectable.
BUT, rotate the right-side-up photo 90 degrees clockwise, or upside down as you’ve shown, and the convex arc becomes concave.
This is REALLY freaking me out!
Soerry but your comment did make me laugh out loud!! it did sort of freak me oput to when I did it…don’t kow what made me… as I don’t usually!
Love the curve of the water as well as the sky in the first image Hellen, really nice image. In an odd way, I like the upside down image! 😛 Thank you for commenting on my post today, kinda funny we both posted about water…
the upside down image is definitely my favourite..
Nice play!
Was fun… and still when I look at it I think how does that work !
Nice Hellen…
I’m happy to stick with the top one though..I actually find that last shot a bit disconcerting…Makes me a little vertiginous.
That’ll be the drink Stuart ! but seriously I agree it is disconcerting indeed. (by the way I know it’s confusing because there are 2 ll’s everywhere but it is Helen with 1 🙂 )
Well I did think the double ‘L’ was a bit affected….
I’m quite relieved!
(You’ll note my middle monicker is a double ‘L’, but in my case it is purely to stop anyone thinking I might be Welsh…Heaven forbid!)
Great series, Helen!
Thanks Mufidah.. I can see you are catching up 🙂
Yes, am whizzing through, so not commenting as much as I might otherwise do, but am really enjoying seeing what you’ve been up to 🙂
all sorts of stuff as you can see !
Nice one. I think there’s room for inversertion in all sorts of images where there isn’t really any ‘terms of reference’ so to speak.
Thanks Stepehn.. it amazed me just how completely different it looked..
