Picture This! -- Our Next Assignment

From Above
One way to challenge your "usual" way of seeing is to follow the adage, "Shoot from above, shoot from below." In other words, find a stance or point of view that is not from your height looking straight ahead. It could be looking down from your own height, or getting images by scaling a ladder, rock, or mountain, or just taking an elevator to the top of a local building.

This photo was made from a hotel balcony looking down at a palm tree blowing in a brisk onshore breeze. Made at night using the hotel lights for illumination, it's a pelican's eye view, with saturation boosted somewhat in Photoshop CS3, exposed at f/8, 1/500 sec with a Nikon D200 set at ISO 400.
