🔗 How Does Perspective Work in Pictures?

-

Making my own pictures led me down a road to understanding how wrong these views are. There is no such thing as correct perspective; all choices of perspective have advantages and disadvantages.

Many people want to cut their carbon footprint or are simply fed up with the hassle of flying - and a significant number of people are afraid of flying or medically restricted from doing so.
