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!

Top 3 finishers received a badge on their profile.

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 :)

The focal point is really great, nice and sharp with good colour saturation. Do you think a composition with a bias towards the side (using the thirds rule) would have made this image stronger? I like the breezy feel of this shot.

Thanks for your comment. I know it would be more nice with the thirds rules but with the autofocus of my camera this is a tricky task.

You can sometimes do this with cropping which can be used as an artistic tool.
