Get High: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your photographic challenge is to ‘Get High’.
No – we don’t mean you need to take any mind altering subjects…. we’re encouraging you to look for opportunities to get up above the subjects you’re photographing and shoot from that vantage point – as we wrote about in our post on getting a new perspective by getting high with your camera.
You’re welcome to do this with any kind of subject matter – portraiture, landscape, streetscapes, wildlife, sporting…. anything you want to try it with.
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘Getting High’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSHIGH to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Details challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

One of my favourite places to shoot from, the plane! Clouds seen from around 35,000 feet as well as the mighty wing of the 777-300ER!

Ok, so I am not super high here, but I should point out that I climbed a tree at 8 months pregnant to get these portraits of my husband haha.

And there is this one of my son getting his face painted

Recently bought my first (2nd hand) digital SLR and I’m trying it out like crazy. This is my first post here (hope I didn’t double post, image was to wide initially). Taken from 4th story terrace overlooking pavement/bicycle path/grass. Cropped it for better composition.

I loved the perspective on the tennis ball to the person, perfect subject to object ratio for a wide shot.

- many things fit “high”, yet not all have to be physically that way
- a collage of photos taken 16 July 2012
- each, in it’s own way, fits the photography challenge of “High” for me
