<\/a>For this week’s Shooting Challenge<\/a>, we asked you to abuse<\/a> the principles of perspective to confound our sense of scale. The results are as charming as they are clever…or someone took out a second mortgage on that giant Aibo.<\/p>\n

Second Runner Up<\/h1>\n

<\/a>
\nTaken with my Sony a350 Sony DT18-70 lens @ 20mm; f\/9; 1\/160sec; ISO100. Picture of Randy’s Donuts in Inglewood, California. Took the picture w\/ my friend Rafael Ortega he held the cup as I pretended to dunk the donut. Rafael bought coffee from Randy’s ,but the cup was too blank so after a couple of takes he decided to draw “Coffee” on it.<\/em>

First Runner Up<\/h1>\n

<\/a>
\nI was aware of this optical phenomenon, but never really thought of it in relation to photography. Without an assistant to call for, I had to trust my remote once more. So here’s me (duck) peeking out of a cup, and a towering 70-200mmL (f\/4 non-IS) lens with another duck on top.
\nGear used: Canon EOS 450D, Canon EF 28mm f\/1.8 USM, Manfrotto 190XproB tripod RC-1 IR remote. f\/22 (max), 1\/10s, ISO 200.<\/em>
\n– Staff Anthomen<\/p>\n

Winner<\/h1>\n

<\/a>
\nMeet my dog Arti(ficial). He likes humans (bones), pissing on big trees and having sex with trucks. He reads Gizmodo all day and tried to escape from me two times to become Rosa\u00b4s new pet. Too bad his battery drains and needs his own nuclear plant…
\nCanon Eos 500D \/ Canon 18-55mm lens @ 28. 1\/50 sec. \/ F 25 \/ Iso 1600 \/ Monochrome.
\nLightroom for brightness adjustment \/ Photoshop for crop.<\/em>
