Mobile Photography – StreetWise – New! Eleventh Challenge – ‘Shooting from the Knees’
“We do not take pictures, we are taken by pictures” Ernst Haas Forget ‘shooting from the hip’, the theme of our next challenge is ‘shooting from the knees’. Sometimes, as street photographers, we may find ourselves feeling a little stagnant and we may desire to travel away from our usual environment (a new town or city) to find fresh inspiration. However, when that is not possible, changing our perspective can offer a refreshing change. For this next challenge, we invite you to get low – squat, kneel, lye of the earth, put your mobile phone on the ground – but, have your camera lower than your knees (or thereabouts)…

Others have predominant lines in their photos without intentionally searching them out, but, the inclusion of lines can help make the image a strong one.
