#Sunday Stills – Geometric shapes – a look at angles and perspectives

It’s all about perspective when it comes to geometric shapes.

“Geometry – It is concerned with properties of space that are related with distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.“

It was not my favourite school subject. I couldn’t tell a tetrahedron from a square pyramid, or a hexagonal pyramid from a hexagonal prism – even though I could spell these mysterious words – the usefulness of these shapes made no sense to me.

Then I discovered the angles, shapes and perspectives to be captured through photography. At last the geometric shapes made sense and I could relate.

I went looking for geometry and symmetry wherever I pointed my camera.

From spheres to squares…

From proportions to perspectives in buildings and bridge construction…

In ceilings and walls and up steps or stairs……

I even found a square pyramid or is it tetrahedron?

Geometry in photography has forced me to shape and clarify my own perspectives.

I’m impressed that you can even include a hexagonal prism into a sentence, Liana! Great shots and I love the B&W. Please link up to my post when you get the chance!
