I'm practicing perspective in photography. Thanks to all you professional photographers out there who are opening my newbie eyes to this interesting aspect of your craft. Where I stand to take a photo matters. Like this photo. It looks like the Old County Courthouse on the right is taller than the BB&T Tower on the left. Wrong! The BB&T Tower - well, it towers over everything. A different angle would give a different perspective. But to someone who knows the reality (Hello, Hope! Hello, Leedra! Hello, Farm Chik!), I hope this photo will amuse you.I also like the new and old rubbing architectural shoulders.

Hi thre! I haven't been around in ages and I'm sorry. I've just now browsed through the backlog of your photos and now of course I can't comment on each one....:<( I do like this perspective one; it's fun to play around with a different angle from time to time!
You definitely fooled me! Love that! And like you, I also like old and new buildings together — makes for a very interesting skyline.
I do like the contrast between new and old. Brick and glass. Nice shot.
And they say pictures don't lie.
Hi Knoxville Girl...a great photo love the perspective you are practicing on! I looked up and saw this same view just a few days ago when I walked over to the old courthouse for early voting! I'm glad you took this photo!
It's a gorgeous photo and I would never have guessed that the BB&T building was bigger. Trickery at its finest!
A little tomfoolery never hurts. I love the old/new thing. In Paris I guess I'll be shooting the old/older thing!HA
Good job! I too like the old and new in architecture. Often new buildings look awful but alongside old classics they seem to improve.
Obviously I could prattle on about the juxtaposed ancient and modern, the imposing skyline, how the eye and brain are hoodwinked blah blah. Just damned fine photography. Continue.
wow - you got me on that one. beautiful photo of beautiful buildings
