Looking up and around

A mural of which I’ve been meaning to take a photo.


Looking up at a railway gate.

Looking up at a flag flying.




In the New York Times today: “When 4 Photographers Looked Up, This Is What They Saw” — an article about taking pictures from an interesting point of view. I decided to try it. I started by looking up at my house:


Looking up at our shag-bark maple tree.

J'aime beaucoup ce mural de l'opticien. Les perspectives que tu offres avec ces mêts et ces arbres sont très intéressantes et du plus bel effet.

Ooh - lovely! Your shot of that shagbark maple was stunning! And it was interesting to see how looking up transformed some of these subjects -- the flag and the railway gate in particular -- into something strange and almost unrecognizable.

The mural of the lady getting her eyes tested is very quirky and unusual. I like your "looking up photos", they really show different perspectives of common things. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.

I loved the mural. I like how the We care came out, too.

What fun you had looking up. I like that tree in your yard.

It's always good to look at things from a different angle, as your excellent photographs demonstrate.

This is a fun project. I'm tempted to try it now.

That railway gate is cool. From that angle, it looked like a metal sculpture holding up two top hats!
