Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, originally uploaded by peterlo72.

Two weeks ago, we asked people to take photos from unique perspectives – and to submit them to the Glocal Flickr Stream. The artists behind the selected photos would win our Digital Camera Hack Kits – everything you need to hack a digital camera.

Our winner, Flickr user peterlo72, took a photo from a unique perspective indeed: from the top of the 46 metre tall Navy Pier Ferris Wheel in downtown Chicago. The resulting shot is surreal – the saturated colours and sharp edges make the photograph feel more like a miniature scene than a real life setting. Thanks to Peter for a great contribution, and an excellent starting point for our Photo Challenge Series.

Which leads us to Photo Challenge #2! Our first selected submission was taken from a high-up perspective; this week we are asking for your photos taken from the down-low. Under tables, below cars, beneath the waves, from ground-level – be creative! Again, selected contributers will receive a free Digital Camera Hack Kit, and will be featured here on the blog.

So, to sum it all up:

Photo Challenge #2: Down-low

1) Take a unique photo from a low perspective

2) Upload your photo to Flickr and tag it with ‘glocalproject’ and ‘photochallenge’

3) Stay tuned to this blog to see our picks! If you are one of our winners, we’ll mail you your prize ASAP.

About The Glocal Project

Glocal (global + local) is an immense, collaborative and multifaceted digital art project that examines the making, sharing and exhibiting of images in the 21st century. Working out of the Surrey Art Gallery’s TechLab, the artists behind Glocal pose questions about the nature of photography at this point in our history: What is a photograph? What is a camera? What is a photographer?
