Assignment: "From the Hip"

[rlopez117]

I took this photo by placing my camera at the base of the tree looking upwards.

Right up my alley considering one of my recent undertakings has been TtV Meets Street! I call this one "The edge of conversation..."

Shot this with my XT pointed down through my TtV contraption held by my waist...

This doesn't count for entry for the assignment, but it fits perfectly into the theme.

I took this in Venice last fall while my husband and I were out walking. There was a mask vendor on the Rialto bridge that was yelling at the tourists who stopped to take pictures of the masks. So just because I knew I wasn't allowed to take pictures, I made sure the flash was off and as we walked by I pushed the shutter while the camera was hanging around my neck. I got really lucky with the composition from the vantage point that I had and this actually turned out to be one of my favorite Venice pictures.

This is a shot that I took on a whim. My farrier was getting irritated because I wanted to keep taking pics and he couldn't do his job!

Our cat Syrah "hunting in the jungle"....a mouse's perspective

I took about 20 pictures to get this. Just Crop/Sharpen and added vignett. Not quite what I wanted...I wanted to get her crouched, "prowling thru the grass", but most of those had grass cutting off an eye or something...Actually most pics had grass in the way, probably because I simply held the camera in the tall grass and pointed the lens at her thru it.

kellyk - very cool story and capture

sk66 - I think that is a great shot! I, too, have discovered it's hard getting those shots in the grass w/o the grass covering up everything!

Too many jaggy things for me to get down to get this angle, was a hope for the best kinda shot!
