Ah-h, the problem for the flowers is the downward (glacier-facing) slope and that they have short stems. Here is one where I would (if allowed) dig a small hole, pre-set the focus on the flowers, and let the glacier blur as it will (the small aperture, of course)... and shoot several pics blind with minor adjustments of camera position. But then my camera is a cheap digital (fit in your palm) and can take the center of the lens to 1/2 inch (1.3cm) from the ground. I do wonder if a small first-surface mirror cocked at an angle could achieve the same effect as an ant's eye-view. BTW, I like the "#12 extra" perspective of the glacier better than the other, even if we lose sight of the well developed lateral moraine. More, please. -- Dick
