Lens-Artists Challenge: Looking Up, Looking Down
This week’s host. jazziBee, is bang on the money when he writes about shifting perspective making all the difference when it comes to producing images that would otherwise be no more than ordinary snapshots.
Looking Up
Yes, we are back in Albi for this one (what can I tell you: it’s very photogenic and I had just got a new smartphone). This is a view of the cathedral looking up, giving some idea of how imposing the massive edifice is. I used the front camera for this and just held it right up against the wall, pointing upwards.
Looking Down
This is not Albi, but rural Oxfordshire and more specifically my son’s back garden. I used Lightroom to eliminate the distractions of the ground cover in order to make the flowers themselves (no idea what they are, but that’s quite usual) stand out.

A really impressive building and beautiful flowers. Both well captured. Thanks!
You’re so right about the perspective looking up, which truly shows the grandeur of the structure. Terrific choices for the week.
Oh my, that cathedral view opening shot takes my breath away. Beautiful photos.
Love the brilliance of the flowers. I don’t know what they are either. Not sure it matters. They stand up for themselves, don’t they?
Love that brickwork!! and flowers. Excellent.
That is one cool building and the flowers are beautiful, although I don’t know what they are either.
Great choices for the challenge – that building is indeed an impressive structure – even more from that angle.
