PHOTOGRAPHS FROM UNUSUAL VIEWPOINTS thread (20130420)

[Tom Mann]

We've all been having fun with the "Animals doing their thing" thread, so how 'bout some more fun photos. The theme is "Unusual Viewpoints". This can be microscopic, macroscopic, seriously macroscopic (eg, aerial photos), peeking out from somewhere, etc.

Discussions of the images and on topic comments will be in this thread this week, but pls follow the other general guidelines for the NO WORDS threads (eg, no nude images, YOU must be the photographer, etc.) .

Here's one to kick it off.

Yowza Steve; that image is giving me serious vertigo, but it definitely is a unique perspective!

 

[iDad]

The image is from scanned photo prints from the 80s, helicopter floor view (I know terrible resolution):mrgreen: cameras have come a long way ......

Wrong side of the fence.

For fun, maybe we should allow others to caption our photos. I would go with:

Tom's - The World's First Chicken Footed Human

Steve's - SPEED !!!!

iDad's - Are you sure you know how to fly this thing?

Paul"s - Yeah, punk - don't cross me - I'm a lifer - they can't do anything more to me.

;-)

Tom, I'm not too sure about the tongue there, but it does fit the requirements of the thread . . . arguably.

These are from my old LG Envy phone about 2 years ago.

 

[iDad]

It's not view point I share to often but it is a view point:mrgreen:

Our two cats had the same point of view when we had to lock them in the bathroom for a couple of hours while I was doing some work and the the front door had to be left open.

PS - No, we don't have a bathroom with black walls. ;-) I just wanted the results of their activities to stand out.

 

[ibclare]

These contributions are drifting into the catalogical!

[Jessicayla]

No way, a regular oven!

Here's another, from 2010. I cut out the bottom of a plastic cup for this one

"Cut out the bottom of a cup" - Very inventive!
