Down the aisle

Q:  Every on has one, whether they know it or not
A:  What is a point of view

Looking skyward

Across the blinds

People have opinions varying all over the map.  Many points of view make for great diversity and sometimes great controversy.  I've often observed the difference between weak opinions strongly held and strong opinions weakly held.  Now I'll refrain from over-analyzing and graphing up a comparison, because I fear another bump to the Nerds.

OK but what about pictures .... many of us use cameras called point and shoots.  They're easy to use and they take great pictures.  The photographer has little to worry about except for where to aim the lens.  Ready, Fire, Aim

Point of view also needs an "angle of view" .... how narrow or wide is your image in the viewfinder.  This is where the zoom comes in.  It is worth zooming in to see if the picture looks better and moving L, R to clear background clutter out of the frame.

I hope that some of my photos show you a little about my-point-of-view, the selection of the angle of view and how far and wide to push the zoom lens.  Drive safely.
