Looking Up

November 9th, 2011
So I decided for a quick theme to make a change on where my eye looks for photos. It seems that overall I rarely look up for a photo. So for the next week or two I think I will take all my photos from the ground up. Anyone want to join in.
November 9th, 2011
Okay...I'm in!!
November 9th, 2011
Oh I will tag them "lookingup"

Oh, I'm there. I was actually thinking about that two nights ago while walking along the beach. I had never looked up at the hotels. So I shot a few of two resorts and they very quickly became two of my most popular photos on Flickr.

So...what do you wanna define as "up"?

@jasonbarnette hmmmm, I love a little flexibility, but how about the horizon line must be in the bottom 1/5th of the photo. I think if you are lying on the ground and take a photo shooting upward to the top of the blade of grass or taking photos of clouds or tops of buildings should count. Any other suggestions

@brumbe Well...the horizon line being across the bottom 1/5th would look kinda awkward. Think Rule of Thirds.

I was thinking something like no horizon in the photo at all. I think that would be a good definition of up.

Oh dang. UP was a good movie. Now I wanna see it again.

Okay, no horizon is an excellent guideline. I expect a lot of crawling on the ground in our future.

This one might just skid in under the guidelines. ;-)

I often get down low for upward angled shots

Sometimes not by choice

I'm there but you know my insane program by now...Will try for a week...
November 9th, 2011
Such a great idea... i rarely look up to search for a good subject. I think I will give this a try next week... starting Monday.

Ok tag lookingup noted.

Thanks, Paula!

My groove has been broken lately. New inspiration is good. I will give it a try!

@webfoot I saw your photo after I posted the discussion and thought, this was exactly what I was thinking.
November 9th, 2011
I'm in! At least for a couple days :)

@jasonbarnette Was it a good movie? I have yet to see it haha but I want to!
November 9th, 2011
@jwalrath You haven't...you mean you haven't...I can't even type it! That was an *awesome* movie. I have it on DVD. You should come over. From...wherever you live haha.
November 9th, 2011
@jasonbarnette Haha, alothough it might be fun to travel, renting it might be more practical right now! But I'll get on that so I can see the awesomeness of it all!
November 9th, 2011
@jwalrath See...if you just rent the movie, all you'll be doing is watching a movie. If you come over to my place to watch the movie, *then* you'll get the awesomeness of it all :P
November 9th, 2011
@jasonbarnette I'll keep that in mind :)

@michaelelliott I almost used a similar picture for a filler this weekend. Glad that you look up also. I think it is so much easier to do in an urban area
November 10th, 2011
@brumbe - being in NYC I always look up because there is so much up there!
