Weekly Photography Assignment: Looking Down

Home » Announcements » Assignments » Weekly Photography Assignment: Looking Down

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our two favourites to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 24: Looking Down

Our theme this week is Looking Down. I thought this might be quite an interesting theme. This week I’d like to see photo taken where you’re having to point your camera completely downwards – looking straight at the ground. Or anything below the camera, that is. This will allow you to think creatively and outside the box. It might be in a rockpool, an abstract, some close-up details of leaves, or the reflection in a puddle. Who knows – it’s up to you!

For some guidance, have a read of the following tutorials:

Last Week’s Favourites

Here are our favourites from last week’s theme: Insects. You can view the rest of the submissions here.

Who doesn’t love an orange-tip butterfly? Their markings are so beautiful, and a species we are lucky enough to have in the UK. This shot shows off the furry body and amazing colours brilliantly.

Georg used focus-stacking to achieve this macro image with all parts of the insect in focus. It shows a great understanding of macro technique and worth sharing!
