This week I found time to participate in Jill’s weekly SOOC (straight out of camera) challenge. This week’s theme is “UP”.

My hubby and I went yesterday afternoon down-town Tempe and Tempe Town Lake. Actually it is one of our favorite spots to take photographs in the Metro Phoenix area.

I usually challenge myself to photograph with one particular lens on our weekly photography outings. This week I went with my very slowwwwww kit-lens (18-55mm/3.5-5.6). The only thing I added to the lens was my circular-polarizer filter; this was a good investment with the harsh light we have here in the Valley of the Sun 🙂 .

So, for this week I am entering the below photograph: a reflection of the American flag in a window. I had to look up in order to take this photograph 😉 .

To see a larger version of the above photo, please visit my Flickr Page. I have a couple of ideas on how to make the photograph “WOW”, but not sure if I will get the result I am looking for.

To find more “Up” photographs for this week’s challenge, please visit Jill’s website “Jill Samter Photography“.

Thank you for stopping by today; remember: sometimes we need to look up to see ‘treasures’.
