Current Challenge: Above & Below

This theme encourages you to shift your perspective and find visual stories in places we often overlook - or forget to look at! You can shoot any genre you like that fits the theme and prompts below.

Strive to make an interesting, engaging image; one that can stand alone and be a pleasure to look at by using weather and light to create a mood and bring the subject to life. Experiment with composition as well as an unusual angle. Think how to use the space in your viewfinder to make the image appealing?

Enlarge the examples opposite - and consider these prompts...

• Look Up: Shoot skies, trees, birds, architecture, ceilings - anything overhead.
• Look Down: Capture pavements, roots, shadows, feet, cracks in the ground, or patterns in sand or tiles.
• Layered Shots: Include something above and something below in one frame - e.g., reflections in water, bridges over rivers, or people on different levels.
• High and Low Viewpoints: Try a low-angle shot looking up, or a top-down view from a staircase, balcony, or hill (hills work great for a different view of a landscape).
