So I went outside looking for something to shoot, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed that my scarf was dangling out of my coat pocket and making a cool vertical line (aha-the theme!) and I liked the color in the white snow, so I decided to take a photo. I uploaded to my computer and it looked like this:
Then I started thinking, "Wait a minute, that looks like someone standing in front of me took the picture. That's not how it looked in my viewfinder." So in Photoshop I rotated it until it looked like it did to me through the viewfinder. I had to do a flip image vertical and then a flip image horizontal to get it:
And since then I've been taking pictures of my feet and comparing how they look through my viewfinder to how they look on the LCD screen afterward and making myself crazy. What the heck? Up is down and horizontal is vertical today and this confused me so much I need to go sit in a corner and rock myself now.

Ummm, now I need to rock too! Once you figure out the physics of this, could you explain it to me? I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight puzzling about this one! It's a very cool couple of shots; you've got quite the eye for the photographically interesting!
I love the second one. Great perspective and the scarf color really pops.
Okay your journaling made me laugh! Very cool shot and right on with theme!
Cool! I really like the first one! Nice color!
You are so funny! I love the color in that scarf!
love the second one. definitely makes me feel like i am standing there looking down. great creativity!
LOL!! As long as you are rocking yourself and not banging your head against the wall. It's all a matter of perspective. This is really neat.
I love that scarf and love that you took a photo of it!

Very fun, creative photos for the theme!
Cool!! Fun perspective for sure.
Nice I like it, very fun.
very cool shot! love the dof and perspective on this!
i think it all has to do with how you are holding the camera while you take the shot. because the camera, it isn't as smart as your eyes. you can see the image right-side-up through the lens, cause you are really looking at it that way. but, the camera may be upside down.... make sense. try it sometime. take an image with your camera upside down. it'll look normal to you through the viewfinder but your camera will record it as being upside down.
i'm terrible at explaining things. i hope i haven't confused you even more. :)
LOL at your commentary. This is a cool take on the theme!
I love the perspective on this - sounds like you've put a lot of thought into it. :) I love that red scarf - I am kind of an "accessory junkie".
Yesterday you had my most favorite color combo and today you have my second most favorite color combo. LOVE that color red with blue and white, it is so wintery. These are really cool shots!
Great prespective and nice bright color
LOL!! Great colors against the contrasting snow!! How cool!
Great perspective! And the red totally pops! I love the texture of the scarf too. LOVE this!
ROFL! You crack me up!
This is so great... I love how the focus fell and the brightness of the red and blue against the white snow!
