Tag: #86 Lens Artists Photo Challenge

This is my second response to a photo challenge this week: that’s what happens when you get a bee in your bonnet.  I’ll settle down soon, don’t worry.

This time, Patti invites us to change our perspective when taking a photo.  Don’t just stand, point, shoot, she suggests.  Crouch, squat, get above the action, take a tour round it.

The weather being what it is, I can’t get out much with my camera, so these are all from the archives.

This first one is perhaps my favourite, taken in Gloucestershire.  I had to lie at the edge of a flower bed to get this shot of a house barely glimpsed through the ox-eye daisies.  Photography as exercise class.

Here are some more shots, taken in much the same way, in gardens and fields.

I wish those alien leaves poking above the dead sunflower in Leran, France weren’t in the shot. This is a photo that’s not quite successful, technically, but It’s a shot I’d like to try again, because for me it’s very evocative of the place where it was taken.

Drystone wall, North Yorkshire.

Nosterfield Nature Reserve, North Yorkshire.

A meadow in Grewelthorpe, North Yorkshire.

Gasholder development at King’s Cross, London.

And here are two more.  The back end of a festive lunch, and flags at the EU Parliament in Strasbourg.

This really wasn’t a drunken orgy…
