"DOWN LOW" March Photography Challenge
Photo Courtesy of Google Images
The challenge this month is to get down low and take some interesting shots from street/ground level. It’s an interesting perspective and you can achieve some fantastic long shots this way. The photo doesn’t necessarily have to be a long shot though, it could be to highlight the world on the ground that typically gets overlooked. For example, an artsy shot of the bottom of your closet or toes in the shower ;)
How low can you go?!!!!!

Reminds me of the lawns in Holland. Everyone has crocuses in their lawn as well as on street medians and in parks. Spring is beautiful there. Love this shot!

Love those first signs of spring. For some reason our Crocus has not come up this year. So it was nice to see yours here.

I was thinking about what a little child sees and faces when climbing the stairs. Brave little souls! -

Freaky angle, has that fun house sort of vibe to it. Very Escheresque!

The first shot was taken while lying on the floor looking up an AC cooling tower ladder.
The second is the roof of a school at 5:30 am. The roof is pitched causing the shadows.

very nice contrast in the first one and I like by the second one that you can see the grain detail of the foreground, and beautiful blurry nature in the (evening?) sun on the backround

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
