BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: LOW-LYING

When I was thinking of this theme I though about low-lying clouds, and the prestorm sky came to mind, the kind of sky that looks as if it is going to fall on Earth. The railway cables in this composition look like strings that seem to be pulling it further down…

 

For this week’s Black and White Sunday photo challenge I’m hoping to see some photos that you took from a low-lying perspective.

When you publish your response to the challenge, link to this post and leave me your comment bellow. Have fun!

  1. What an impressive shot Paula – that is an amazing sky, and you have used those “strings” perfectly.
    I enjoy lying low for getting a good image so I’m off to see what I can find.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  3. I’m afraid I didn’t have the low angle, but I sure got low clouds 🙂 I love the twisted building. this was my first use of my new (used) wide angle lens, so it is a different angle. It’s my first true wide-angle that isn’t the “low” end of a telephoto.

    Amazing sky. I love how black & white brings the clouds out!

  8. It seems as though there is a lot of energy within this image waiting to be released via wires and/or a storm. Somewhat of a contrast to these summer’s daisies. The soundtrack muted?

  24. Your clouds seem ominous! The Black and white treatment brought out their character.

    I am not sure my entry fulfills the challenge – the scene is definitely way down from me – but that means I am up looking down, not down below looking up which, after more thought, may be what you meant. 🙂 Anyways, here’s the link – https://alipatoblog.wordpress.com/2017/07/11/the-fisherman-black-white-sunday-low-lying/
