Just been for a stroll round the local reservoir, took a few snaps on the way round. Thinking of Rorks POV suggestion thought I might try putting my camera on the ground, above my head and stuff like that. Here are a few of the results, food for thought...

i wonder - if you set the exposure time right down and the aperture right up and worked out the hyperfocal distance, could you get all the pic in focus? (mianly pics 1+4 here) i love pic 3 - the "upside down" thing works nicely and i lie the way the bottom right tree fades to blue - did you filter it for that, or just leave the uv/skylight filter off or what?

Six-eye has an interesting point. Or, could you take several images at different focus settings, and combine them in Photoshop? Think this is going to be a fun Challenge. Welcome to the Forum, BTW, Six.

I agree, This is a good subject with some good shots to be had. There is no fancy stuff going on here just my little digi the selftimer and setting it at an unusual POV. I think I will take my tripod next time there where lots of shot that looked interesting but I had nowhere to set the camera up... :O)

Great experiment Jeff, I love 3, the lines & patterns are beautiful & the POV in 4 really creates a sense of a different reality.
