Well folks, I'm posting early as I am leaving and will be back real late and may not feel like posting at that hour.

This one is Low Angle photography which is hard on knees made of titanium, but still fun to do.

What I did was to make up a bean bag of beans, naturally, and put them in a ziplock and then placed the camera as low as possible. Of course if I owned a little bitty tripod it would have worked wonderfully, but I don't so I made up a bean bag.

These first shots were taken a few days ago over in Québec City at sunrise, so as to have the streets to myself and it worked well.

Enjoy the Challenge....

I really like your angles. I, too, have titaniam knees, so it is difficult to get low angle shots. Nice job!!

Very nice job. Great subject! I still have my old knees so getting backup is the problem, gravity gets me down :-D.

Welcome to Ugly!

That's a really nice series, RR. Beutifully taken at nicely composed low perspectives.

I have a few from the archives for tonight, but I promise to find something of interest around here tomorrow.

Hey, you sure do catch onto low angles. Great shots and subject matter.

In the fifth photo that I posted there is an error. When you are shooting like this many of us cannot use the viewfinder so I set it up as best I can but often they photos wil not ne horizontally corrret but by using Lightroom it can be corrected by working on the ''Rotation'' slider, which I did but I forgot to crop out as a photo which is rotated the original form will remain as grey.
