Welcome back to the 365 Project with Picaboo! This is a year-long journey that offers weekly photography challenges to help you get off automatic and become a better photographer. For all the information you need on The 365 project, please review this post.

This week, I challenged you to switch your angles up. Get creative and try something new! Step outside of your box. I was so impressed with everyone’s challenge pictures. You guys are really rocking these challenges. It was so hard to pick the best! Below are my favorite from this week {with a little commentary}.
Picture by Anotone Botelho – I love the perspective on this photo. I love that you decided to use a black and white process.
Picture by Marsha Mood – I would have never thought to shoot a flag at this angle.
Picture by Sue Beresford – This is a great angle!
Picture by Sherri Schierberl – This is another picture that made me think. I love the lines in this one.
Picture by Whitney Boring – I love the angle on this one as well as the depth of field.
Picture by Sue Sasseville – Love the use of leading lines in this image.
Picture by Judy Macedo – This makes me long for the beach. Love the blue sky!
Picture by Cheri Pittman – Love the perspective!
Picture by Vera Berseneva – I love interesting shots like this! I find myself shooting chandeliers and light fixtures all the time.
Picture by Sue Gilpin – Nice use of depth of field.
Picture by Susan Padilla – Another one that makes me long for the beach and sandy toes.
Picture by Kelley Roen – I like the lines in this one.
Picture by Barb Tatum – There is so much going on in this one: leading lines, a nice sunset, rule of thirds–nice job!
Picture by Gail Martin – I love the vibrant colors and angles in this picture.
Picture by Heather Everson – Shooting at this angle almost makes it hard to recognize this is a plant!
Picture by Deb Noble – I’m a sucker for lines {and wood blinds}!
Picture by Jody Burgin – This is adorable! I love shots of children at this angle.
Picture by Doris Openshaw – This one made me giggle!
Picture by Kelly Bigley – I just want to lay under these trees and daydream!
Picture by Ally Dodd – There is so much I love in this picture! Like the color, peeking through the gate {Am I right? Is it a gate?}. Great job!
Picture by Kristi Shannon - Can I just say how jealous I am of people who live near the beach? I would be out shooting every day! This is a great perspective and an interesting subject.
Picture by Chris Blashill – Another one that makes me smile. You can feel his energy to get down those steps!
Picture by Mary Richards – Another creative angle and shows a little bit about yourself!
Picture by Heidi Kopishke – Congrats on catching some awesome sun flares in this one! And I love the placement of the sun on the statue. Perfect!
Picture by Kathy Watkis-Bayer – This must be what it feels like to live under the canopy.
Picture by Ann Scott – You can tell this truck is well-loved!
Picture by Maggie Miller – This one is so fun! I love that you decided to take this picture from the back and not the front.
Picture by Pamela Villanova – Another great perspective. I love images that you look into.
Picture by Vivian Clibon – I love this one because it’s so simple. Another great demonstration of depth of field.
Picture by Flavia Sandelwski – This could be a postcard.
Picture by Casey Weber – There is something really fun about this shot. Love the colors and the shadow of the ball.
Picture by Becky Kiesel – This is so precious!
Picture by Amy Powter – This is so interesting! The curves of the blown glass really make your eye go right to the top!
Picture by Joanna Rogers – The clouds look like fluffy pieces of cotton candy. The perspective in this image really shows the size of the clouds against the small island.
Picture by Kim Parson – I would have never thought to shot kitchen utensils at this angle. I am so glad that you did! It’s a very interesting shot.
Picture by Susan Smith – I agree, Susan, the water does look like carpet!
Picture by Shari Dooley – This picture makes me happy. I can’t wait for Spring!

Thank you!
Wow, thanks for including my tennis pic!!
Loved this week’s challenge as I shoot from different angles all the time. I got lots of inspiration from everyone else’s creativity (as I do every week) and thoroughly enjoy checking out what everyone else is shooting. Thanks for including one of mine in this week’s review.This is so much fun. What could possibly be next?
Hi Steph Thanks for choosing one of mine. I love the way you’ve left a comment after each one as to why you like it, you can’t ask for better feedback than that
).
Cheers
That’s just one of the MANY reasons why we love Stephanie! Thanks for your note, Gail.
Thanks so much for choosing one of my photo’s – I am honoured, must admit that this week’s challenge was right up my alley!
Thanks for taking part in the 365 project!
I am super excited to have one of my pictures chosen! I just love these challenges. I have always looked for angles when taking my pictures but I must admit I have seen so many more ways to look at things from seeing what others come up with. I now carry a camera wherever I go and I’m always looking for my next picture.
Thanks so very much!♥
Steph, thanks for picking my clouds. I absolutely love that shot! Like I mentioned last weekend, I was so happy to see you picked angles for this week. I LOVE angled shots but sometimes I find myself doing very similar shots so I was really looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos for inspiration. And I sure got what I was looking for! Everyone did amazing! Thanks again.
I’m excited that one of my photos was chosen by Picaboo as a favorite. I absolutely love taking pictures. I used to spend tons of money on film and processing. If I got one or two decent pictures off a role I was happy. Since the world of photography has gone digital, I haven’t gone anywhere without a camera.
I really enjoyed the challenge, especially to kick things off (for me) with Picaboo! I think the theme pushed everyone to really think out of the box, which is what this is all about. Looking forward to next weeks theme!!
This one was really fun, I love looking at life from different perspectives and it was interesting to do it through a camera lens. No more boring angles for me!! And thanks for the nod on my photo . . . . and the feedback.
Thank you for including my photo in your weeks best. Its an honor and I thank you.
Amazing photos!!!
I love the commentary. It helps us know what to look for, etc.
Love this project too. Am learning so much and having a blast.
