I was at a downtown restaurant, and this chimney jutted out of the roof. I had to go pretty low to take this photo.
I went under this bi-lingual THANK YOU sign, and decided if I went right under it, I won't be able to see the words. So I took two photos.
On top of the Mt Eden volcano, is this summit marker. It is a hollow tetrahedron and I bent down low to take the photo.
The flowing leaves and branches of the willow tree should make an interesting photo. I went right below the leaves and feel the cascading leaves on my face.

I looked up, and saw this green praying mantis. I have a love affair with praying mantises especially with a golden rare one. Two came to my house in Singapore and cause great excitement among the scientific world.,
Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Go Low, Looking High
This may be a bit of a challenge to those folks who can’t get down to ground level so get creative and look for things at waist or shoulder high and shoot up from there.
Have fun…Ed

ReplyDeleteI went low to take a shot of sunset on my Luak Bay Beach through the bars of a baby bicycle and lost my balance...some one took a shot of me resting on my bottoms in the sand....
I was glad I did not drop my camera or fall face down!!
Thanks to the pull of gravity!!
Wonderful "perspective" on the photos! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo of the chimney is my favorite. I really like the lights in that restaurant--so sculptural. I also like the tree leaves raining down on you and the praying mantises are very cool!
