It’s that time again. Even though it’s one of the most common photographic clichés around, a good sunflower image still has the power to command your attention. Here are some particularly pleasing views, most of which you’ve posted in the past few weeks.

Except for closeups of creepy insects or splotchy chewing gum, looking down at nearly 90° is one of the rarer perspectives seen on the F’log. But it’s popping up all over the place in the past week or so, and the fresh viewpoints are very nice to see indeed. Here are some of the most compelling recent bird’s-eye views, with a few older ones thrown in. If you have your own shots from above, post the link in the comments here and we can add them.

What’s up with all the kids on wheels racing around the F’log recently? Prams, grocery carts, wagons, mobile cribs—you name it, these kids are commandeering anything with at least two wheels and an APS (Adult Positioning System) device. Seen any other hot-roddin’ toddlers roll by? Link ‘em up so we can all wave hello.

J U M P! For joy? For life? For exercise? Who knows. But it’s happening a lot these days on the F’log, as you can see from these recent jumpographs. The beach is a favorite place to reach for the sky, but the local pool or your living room will do just as well. Hop to it!

I’m a huge advocate of sharp, hyper-crisp detail in photographs, because I often feel that the more descriptive information in the picture, the better. But of course that isn’t always the case. You just have to experience the raven images of Masahisa Fukase, or Bill Jacobson’s series Songs Of Sentient Beings to see that cutting out information and withholding sharp focus can seriously heighten emotional power. (Sidh’s picture above is reminiscent of the great German painter Gerhard Richter’s work.)
It’s great to see a bunch of Fotologgers recently experimenting with autofocus off! Here’s a selection of recent blurtastic photos from them, and from others who have been experimenting with soft focus, motion capture, and/or long exposures for years now.

Split-screens. Double takes. The current vogue seems to be multiple images in one post—they’re everywhere, and it’s a not unpleasant phenomenon. Check out a bunch of twofers after the jump, and add links to your own in the comments.
