Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #95

Welcome to Round #95 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member that is NOT in the MEGA ROUND #15.
It will run from Monday, January 23, 9:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, February 6, 9:00pm PST time (GMT -8).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Up High or Down Low

Its all about perspective. The camera needs to be up high looking down or down at ground level (or lower?) and can either look up or ground level. Some examples:

Down Low

Up High
518491081_UETkm-M-2.jpg



There are no editing restrictions in this round.

Your Judge:
1 round 72 Hour Public Vote.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a SmugMug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page: Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules.

    I am confused.
    While Up high is okay
    Camera is up and looking down
    Down low......
    I though camera should be down, and looking up, exactly opposite of up high.

    The idea is that the angle of the camera is to show that the camera is up high or is at ground level or lower. What interesting things can you find by seeing things from the ground, or being up high and looking down?

    This challenge is different than the mini challenges. Entry into the challenge is not done in this thread, so you didn't need to delete your post. The first post in this thread gives all the details and a link to the gallery for actual entry.

    So I confess I am not really understanding for sure about the angle of the camera. Are you saying it really is always the camera pointing down up high or down low the camera is always looking down?

    eek7.gif... that is confusing if that is how you are reading it.

    The way I read it is,
    The camera is:
    1) up high and looking down
    2) down low and looking up
    3) down low and looking at ground level.

    Well, at least I understand it, now if I can just manage to shoot what I am seeing in my mind. Too bad we can't take pictures of what we see in our heads!

    ** just looked at the gallery... glad I wasn't going with the duck idea! bowdown.gif

    I hope you are going to enter it? If so make sure you upload it here
    or it will not qualify for the challenge.

    Just checking before I waste anyone's time uploading something not allowed: would either of these shots qualify? I took them last tuesday 24th, but I'm not sure the angle is severe enough to qualify.

    It would be best that you post that question in a new thread on the forum and see what the general audience thinks! thumb.gif
