SSC 27 Oct 2018 - Happy Anniversary

SSC 27 Oct 2018 - Happy Anniversary
Explored! Thank you very much :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
27 OCTOBER 2018
"EVERYONE CAN CHOOSE SOMETHING THEY'VE LEARNED HERE IN SSC AND TAKE A PHOTO USING THIS TECHNIQUE. YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHY YOU LIKE USING THE TECHNIQUE".

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, EVERYONE :-)

Despite the best intentions I often take photos with the camera at 6 feet off the ground looking straight ahead :-)

The last challenge (Looking Up) made me stop and think about my photography a bit more. I have started to spend more time studying the scene/subject before pressing the shutter. And, I've been taking quite a few shots looking up!

I got a stiff neck taking this shot and, in addition, I tried to include a few diagonal lines :-)

Getting a stiff neck has its rewards, especially with autumn colours! Excellent use of the diagonal.

Like your thinking Roger, sometimes it helps if you have an articulated LCD.
