Introduction

Welcome to Take A Glimpse. This blog is a companion to the Glimpse group at Flickr. Auntie P started the group to showcase:

photographs that show a glimpse to another place or world. It's the idea of a secret garden beyond the gate, an exciting adventure to be had beyond the place you are.

Photographs should include the 'frame' through which you view the 'other place' - eg a window frame, a doorway, a barrier of some sort. Or it could be a natural frame created by the leaves and branches of a tree, a crowd of people, etc.

However just having a frame is not enough. Big frames give too much away. The Glimpse must be small or partial. We don't want windows etc that show a big scene.

The main point is that you should be able to see a tantalising glimpse of what is beyond.


That tantalising glimpse can be difficult to capture.

This blog will showcase interesting examples of Glimpse photos and will provide ideas and tutorials for photographers. I hope that you find this site useful and that you enjoy the pictures. Our photos are hosted at Flickr and can be viewed at a larger size by clicking on them.
