Default Get Down and Dirty

Ok we want to see Different Perspective: Shots taken where the camera is less than 6 inches from the ground to give a different compositional perspective.

Get down and Dirty
post on the blog

Tips: if you are out and about .. try taking overalls/coveralls with you so you can slip out of them before heading home that way your "good" clothes are not going to get dirty


My get down and dirty shots taken in the grave yard next door...

It's a bit dull but did open up a new perspective for me. Rather than get down and dirty, I just held the camera low to the ground, took the shot and then looked to see what I had got - that introduces an element of chance but also avoids getting too grubby!

I couldn't get outside tonight - too dark! But had a look around the house and came up with these two for the assignment.

Getting Jiggy

I'm ashamed to say that even getting down on my kitchen floor I managed to get grubby!

That picture is definitely worth clicking on to get to Flickr and then viewing large - it is beautifully crisp. Also, I think I can just see you in the cat's eyes
