Photo Challenge #8: Looking Up

 

 

 

Theme Definition: A photo you have to physically look up at to take.

 

Tried to think of a broad subject that could be done without to many problems, and would give a wide, varied and interesting response depending on where you stay or what they see as a good shot. So try and find somewhere or something you have to physically look up at or tilt your head upwards, and photo it, just try to avoid horizons and the ground if you can ... so if something you want to photo is at eye level, crouch or lay down to take the photo. Some examples could be looking up a tree, looking up a building, looking up at a plane flying by, something hanging of the roof/ceiling, a bird flying by or perched, an object thrown in the air ....etc etc etc, a subject that you have to physically look up at to see.
