Photo Contest: Going Low

PhotographyPosted by Staaan

In the second contest, let's deviate from taking our photographs standing up. This time we're taking photos from a low position.

Get on your tummy, lay on your back, or squat down. Get that camera as low as you can and take a photo. Think of how a bug would see the world!

Great to see you here again. I remember how creative you were with your photos on PXL. I remember how you got one jellybean to stand up (a thumb tack) . Again it is great to see your creativity and to learn from you. The monochrome really sets this apart and the poor bug looking at this through the snow....brrrrr. Is this Canada?

Thanks. Yes, it is nice to see you and some other people from pxleyes here! No, it's not Canada (but close). I live in rural upstate New York. We get about 4 meters of snow per year.

The lighting is just gorgeous. And the theme is fun and funny! The photo is well-composed, with sparkle and struggle. Thank you for the fantasy jaunt!

This shot was taken from my phone, Samsung note 10+ and yes, not taken from the ground as it supposed to because I had the phone set on the floor with a timer set on. This is me in the picture taken at a local museum.
Thank you for your comments :)
