This is my granddaughter in front of a old oak tree - approximately 100 years old. It is massive and she looks so small against it!

Fantastic photo, Carin! Your granddaughter is very beautiful and... very small compared to the oak! ;-) Have you been able to grasp the real sense of scale! :-)

My son's hand and the hand of my first grandchild! Now he is 10 years, but sometimes also like to review photos of him when he was just born! :-)

Great pics so far. :-)

I love a challenge. Brain working overtime. Do I have something in my collection, or will I have to go out and find something? Hmmmm.

This one is more about perspective, but there is a person down there to give a small sense of scale.

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Tue, 11 October 2011 at 6:54 AM

Beautiful perspective and beautiful sense of scale , LoneyBones !

kgb224 ( ) posted Tue, 11 October 2011 at 7:01 AM

Wow only 11 days into the challenge and so many awesome posts already! I better get on it! Great challenge, I am itching to get my three. Looking forward to seeing how many perspectives we can present on this subject :)

@Carin Great challenge, this one is really going to make us think outside the box! Beautiful granddaughter and an outstanding tree! Looks like it would be fun to climb ;) Great shot!

@Mies What an awesome beginning to the challenge! I love this scale shot, and the subject is so interesting. Great shot!

@Mario Awesome perspective scale on your first shot, the riders look so small against this beautiful natural backdrop. And I love all of the detail in your nature shot! Great eye :)

@Christo Perfect timing in these airshow captures! Cool idea for this scale challenge, beautiful abstract shots, my favourite is the last one because it looks like he got fired on and hes outrunning it! Great shots :)

@Maria That is a shot to cherrish :') A beautiful scale shot, thank you for sharing this sweet memory

@Andrew I like your choice of B&W on this one, it really draws the attention to your scale subjects here! Great find :)

@Mark Beautiful beach capture! This reminds me of my recent trip to Tofino where I touched the ocean for the first time! Awesome scale capture, the people look like ants!

@Yvonne Perfect timing for this great shot! It looks like a cold day, that splash might be more appreciated on a sunny day haha Great shot, and perfect upload for the challenge :)

@Leonie I love that the wall in the foreground is the focus, and the ttiinnnyyy person waaaaay back is only part of the details. Cool and colourful addition to this months challenge

I guess there is certainly a sense of scale when looking at the universe. Except the whole of this space is only about 18 inches. It's powder sprayed across a black background, done last week for another photographic challenge. Not the photo I finally entered but the one I should have entered.

I do so enjoy a challenge. ;-D

kgb224 ( ) posted Tue, 11 October 2011 at 10:32 PM

Stunning capture Loney.

dochtersions ( ) posted Wed, 12 October 2011 at 6:15 AM

Impressed I am, by seeing those fantastic images here. Congrats everyone.

I hope this upload will do it. :)

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Wed, 12 October 2011 at 7:34 AM

Splendid photos , Lpney and Mies !

dochtersions ( ) posted Wed, 12 October 2011 at 7:56 AM

Thank you Mario.

BTW: On the first photo here, I understand they give me compliments, while Priska she deserves.

It's really a fantastic photo, dear Priska (aksirp).

I've only put those wall and the two men here (to-day)

Love to all,
Mies (dochtersions with the owls ;-))

Fantastic photo, Mies and Loney! :-)

A photo taken last April in Palazzo Adriano, a village near Palermo, where Giuseppe Tornatore shot the film "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso", Oscar winner for best foreign film in 1990.

My brother in law is photographing the Greek-Byzantine Church of Santa Maria Assunta, built in 1532! :-)
