@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel for your wonderful comments, I had this shot in mind a couple of days ago but the weather hampered my access to the tower, but this morning we had a very hard frost and the snow was solid around and about and it was only a short walk to the tower:)
Excellent for the theme. I took a shot similar to this once and as I walked under the pylon I didn't notice the giant spider web because I was too interested in looking up. Luckily the giant spider was hiding away in the heat of the day.
@cottiac Thank you for your comments, there are many types of towers around the only problem most are on private land, this one however is located just a short walk from a canal towpath:)
@rosiekind Thank you Rosie this subject sprung to mind as soon as I noticed this weeks theme and better still I knew were I could get right under one:)
@quietpurplehaze Thanks for you comment Hazel, to much ice around to lay down, simply rested my camera on its back on my camera bag pointing up the middle of the tower and took the shot using a wireless trigger, " where there's a will there's a way":)
Ah, did wonder if it was the camera lying on the ground. I did similar for an indoor ceiling once, have no wireless trigger so used the 10 second delay.
@quietpurplehaze I have used the technique for years on vertical shots even going back to the days of 35mm film, in saying that I did lay on my back to take the textured balcony shot last week, lol:)
Did you have to lie on the ground?
