aerial perspective

inspired by everyone's conscious effort to better oneself, and to acquire more knowledge and skills in photography, i decided to do some reading of my own. because i find it amazing that everyone in my network seems to know a lot, and i happen to be the only one still using auto settings, how embarrassing that may be. i went to the public library to borrow some digital photography books, and even bought two for reference at home. during my readings, i came across aerial perspective, and i remember these shots i took of the "table top mountain" from "picnic point". i think these are what aerial perspective is about, although i could have done better, if only i was equipped with the right know-how and skill. but never mind, there's always room for improvement.
