Point of View...

A photographer I respect immensely has taught me that the point of view is a great photographic tool. Everyday objects and situations can find new life in a different point of view.

I've been exercising this in new ways, of which this picture is a good example.

Although for some weird reason I love taking pictures of flags on poles, they don't seem to be particularly interesting to the general population (not a prison term, by the way - I just mean simple regular folks).

I like the fact that the semi-arc causes a diagonal theme that really imprints some movement and tension in the photo.

This picture was taken with a DSLR in Figueira da Foz (google it, it's in Portugal... google that as well).
