    This month's challenge is all about the off angles! I want to see you shot some pictures that are taken from unusual directions. Try getting under your subject - try looking down on your subject - try tilting the camera - try sitting on the ground - anything that is out of the ordinary! Make an effort to be creative this month when you shoot - really think about what's in your frame and how you could capture the image more creatively! For every unigue photoshoot that you show us samples from, you will receive an entry into this month's prize drawing and remember----this month's prize is the GDT spot for August!

    Here are some examples for you:

    These two were shot sitting on the ground at the bottom of the hill:

    in the air

    superman

    This one was shot looking down into the slide:

    down the tube

    This one was shot looking up into the sky from beneath my subject:

    under the arm

    This one was shot with a simple tilt of the camera:

    bubbleboy1

    These two were shot by sitting on the ground in the middle of the street (which has a slope):

    kids 4-10

    feet 4-10

    Love the feet and I have seriously thought about being a little more creative with my camera angels. This has given me the push. Next time I photograph, I am going to try this

    This is the top of a grain mill. I was standing underneath looking up.


    I tilted the camera on this one.


    There are literally hundreds of these wind turbines out on this open land. They are absolutely HUGE and kinda scary when you get up close to them. I took this from road level.

    This is my view in the airport. It was a task to get the fountain at just the right spot. That plane looked to close to the window to me.
