Photo Contest: 0.5 Angle

Man in Gucci print pants and a tan jacket, holding onto a lamppost, with one large boot extended towards the camera, mouth open in an exaggerated expression.

Get weird with it! Use ultra-wide, distorted, or unexpected angles to turn ordinary scenes into something eye-catching. Bend perspective, exaggerate space, and play with scale. Show us the world from a 0.5 angle viewpoint we don’t normally see.

Upload your submissions before 9:00PM Sunday, March 8th to be included on next week’s ballot!

Be sure to vote for your favorite COLOR photos as well!

If you’re new to our Weekly Photo Contest: Each week, we accept photo submissions based on a specific theme. You don’t need any fancy equipment and your interpretation of the themes can be as literal or as creative as you like! Be sure to bookmark this link and check out the rest of the details (prizes, deadlines, etc.)

Questions regarding the photo contest can be sent to alissa.gervais@maine.edu.
