TTT – Looking down

This week’s tip is a rather simple one, but one that has resulted in some interesting photographs for me and, I hope, may result in some cool shots for you as well:

Look Down.

During those moments when we look for the grand landscape to capture, it may lie at our feet.

How often have you run into this scenario: you are all set to come up with a fantastic landscape shot, but nothing you see through your viewfinder strikes you as ‘the shot’.  What you do next will determine whether you come up with an interesting image from this location or nothing at all.

You could shake your head and walk off to find another great vista, or… you could look down and examine what lies around you and, possibly, find something rather nifty to photograph.

The choice is yours!  Each of the images on this page is the result of my looking down and noticing something that is worth photographing.

Your mission, should you accept it, is to find something to photograph over the next week by looking down.  Feel free to link it to this post, so that I can see what you came up with, as I’m very much looking forward to seeing your creations!

    I was recently staring up rather than down, but I can try to look at what’s under my feet for a change. I love your photo with the tree reflection.

    Interesting that the obvious isn’t all that obvious!

      In some cases, it’s all around us.

        I suppose one has to develop an eye for it.

        Practice, enjoying and staying in the moment makes for great companions to creative photography.

        Yeah, I get that. You’ve probably figured out by now I have issues with that! LOL
