This is something I ALWAYS forget to do! And because of that I miss alot of beauty.
Maybe this month's project will encourage me and others to "Look Up" more often. (I know Roger does lol).

Have fun!

I title my submission as Don't Look Up

Seriously, I was more apprehensive getting this shot than anything else that I can remember. At no more than 5' directly above my head, I knew I had only a split second to dodge anything coming my way.

Is hazardous pay included with this project?

SmartWombat

10-03-2007, 03:39 PM

no hazard pay - just a bottle of lens cleaner !

From my trip to Pearl Harbor last year.

This shot is over-exposed, but for some odd reason I just love it that way. This is the flag that flies on top of the USS Arizona Memorial. I took the shots from inside the memorial.

Shot during my recent air show trip.

No idea who she was. But it just occurred to me that the only shot I seemed not to shoot was the one with all 100,000+ people all looking up at the planes at the same time.

Sigh, the forest-for-the-trees kind of thing.

Look up is working for me this month. I broke my leg getting hit on the football field two weeks ago. I can't walk for 6 weeks. <sigh> Yesterday was the perfect photo shoot. I shot all of my photos sitting or laying on the ground. This was a special shoot for our Senior boys.

http://GHHSFootball.smugmug.com/photos/214670724-M.jpg

The most beautiful bald eagle flew above us right b4 the shoot. Too bad I had my 15mm fisheye on my camera.

Thanks JETA and Paul. The shutter lag is way to slow to get any decent action shots, pretty much a hit and miss operation. I did spend some time in goal going for the half in and half out shot and only succeeded in taking one to many shots to the head. I am going to be doing this set up for our Boys and Girls Varsity water polo teams for their yearbook and promotional shots. Our Girls team hasn't lost a game in the last 7 years and has won the state championships for all of them also.
