P52-5-9 Composition/Perspective — Low Angle Shot
Posted By: Tsukiouji, 02-03-2013, 07:42 AM

Further digging into the angles! Low angle shot — (in motion pictures or photography) a shot taken with the camera placed in a position below and pointing upward at the subject.

P52-3-26 Winning entry — "Eastern Religion", by Tim Anderson
P52-4-29 Winning entry by Cooter - "The last thing a frog sees"

(Photos for the Week #9 competition are to be taken between Feb 4, 2013 and Feb 10, 2013.)

Rules
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-5 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

My take on trees from the ground. I love the 10-17 fish-eye for these shots because it's AF is very accurate. I just place the camera near the ground and point up.

Terrific entries, all, but there's room for MANY more! We have a day left, so there's time. Anyone shoot the blizzard?

(I was able to go out for a walk during our snow storm and took too many pictures because I found it so interesting. We got about 14inches here. So not as much as the blizzard, but plenty enough for me. )
