Description
Sometimes you have to do some silly things to get just the right shot. I've climbed on 20' ladders, leaned over pier railings, walked under bridges, taken a few while on the move. For this one, I was on my belly, on the rocks (oooooffff, that one hurt!!). How else can you get these shots???!!!

well, I free hold the camera and using auto focus shoot blindly.if I miss on the first then another.excellent effort
but what fun it is wonderful capture warm hug, Linda
it has to be done
Very nice one! ;)
worth the pain, great capture :)
LOL... So well worth it Marilyn!!! Fantastic image! I knelt on the only sharp pebble in a 50 feet radius today when trying to capture a flower... And no, I didn't look before I knelt!!! silly grin
well it was worth it great shot ++5
The things we do for a shot lol :o)..Well worth the effort though Marilyn .Excellent capture Mick
Excellent....no gain without pain.
hmm...you seem to ask questions with your explanations soI would say the answer is...buy them from someone else??? [^____^] LOL Cheers, Roger
And here I thought it would be a shot of you hanging out in some drinking establishment with a glass in your hand! LOL, got it wrong again! Well, this is much better anyway, no matter what you had to do to get it. Beautiful colors in the sky and wonderful textures all through!
wonderful!!!
When you are this low, you can't fall. This is a great POV. Thanks for the ooooofffff. Bill
Whatever pain you went through for this shot ... it was worth it! (I can say that, sitting here in my comfy chair!)
The older I get, the more often I emulate Richard's suggestion. Shoot blind from what you think will be the right angle, look at it and reshoot. As Bill and others mention, that low camera angle works well.
Glad you did what it took to get a great shot! Nicely done!
I like the POV....has a lot of depth
Belly up to the bar, boys! See what the boys in the back room will have, and give me the same (Marlene Dietrich)! The devil-may-care attitude of the photographer. Superlative lighting, textures and DOF in this photo, Marilyn!
It just has to be done. Wonderfully captured scene. I really looking around the area where you live it looks so layed back country style & close to the ocean.
Still rockin and rollin I see!!!!
Amazing what one wll do to get the perfect shot. Well worth crawling around for, I'd say.
love the big bulbous rocks as a foreground, and you show a real painter's eye capturing that big branch swinging up & out of the frame. That's very Japanese btw—a spindly form balancing out all the massive rocks, and cutting through the rest of the picture...and you give us nice low swaths of water and background land, and the rest? Big old sky. Very nice proportions. Worth crawling on your belly for! Hope you don't have bruises...(Has a mole come out yet, and said, "pssst: that's my home you're lyin' on, lady!" Well whaddya gonna do: The bug's got ya, and it looks like you're gonna be crawlin' in all kinds of places from now on!) And why do they call it a 'bar'? Do they serve liquor? Or are those rocks lawyers? (Hey, you said "Dot's nice"—something like that—I get my shot too...)
