Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Welcome to a new round of the DC Photography Contest! This time the theme will be down. As an example, the view down past the edge of a waterfall: The rules: - One entry per person - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.) - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. - Winner hosts the next contest. Deadline: March 2nd - EDIT: Voting goes up Monday 7th, deadline extended in the hope of more entries Previous themes: 1: Beginning anew 2: Simplicity 3: Summer 4: Wildlife 5: Black & White 6: Food 7: Macro 8: Farewell 9: Light and Shadow 10: Urban 11: In the home 12: Travel Photography 13: Pets 14: Red 15: Coupled Animals 16: Clouds 17: Green 18: Water 19: Scenic views 20: Invertebrates 21: Sunrise/Sunset 22: Purple 23: Out of Context 24: Snow 25: Flowers 26: Mountains 27: Old 28: Birds 29: Inanimate Objects 30: New Life 31: Play 32: Road 33: Leaves 34: People 35.

Posted March 2, 2016 Well, today was supposed to be the last day, but it seems it can't be. Well, I could declare sh20000sh winner by default here and now, but where's the fun in that? Surely there's got to be more than one person around who's taken a photo downwards? So. I'll extend the deadline - voting goes up on Monday 7th (if we have any more entires by then *fingers crossed*) Share this post Link to post

Posted March 6, 2016 Hm. You have forced me to make an interesting observation about my photography. I mostly take eye level and up pictures. I couldn't find anything interesting to submit for this very neat topic. D: Share this post Link to post
Posted March 6, 2016 I Was In Chicago And I Was Tresspassing I went to visit some artists' lofts last fall and one of them was under construction. I never really take any "looking down" photos; I prefer crouching and looking up aha @Sock: One of my photographer friends likes to hold his camera at belly-button height and snap photos from there and it is an interesting exercise. It helps if your camera has a screen that can pivot up! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 7, 2016 Now that the observation has been made, you certainly have the opportunity to do something about that, Sock Glad to see more entries, voting will be up in a few moments! Share this post Link to post
