I spent a while trying to think of a unique point of view for this challenge. Then I scrapped all my ideas when I thought, what about the subject of the photo? How do my subjects feel when I hover over them with my camera?
Violated? Exposed? Irritated? This would be good to capture in a photo.
So my choice for a unique point of view is from the subject's eye. I picked a white rose from my wife's rose bushes and set up in my backyard on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I put my old Spotmatic over the rose and then took several dozen pictures with my A60, all from different, uh, points of view :-)
Settings:
• Aperture Priority Mode
• f/8.0
• ISO 50 (equiv.)
• t = 1/50 s
• 1600x1200 super fine (original photo)
• Auto White Balance
• Focus in Macro mode
• Camera set on tripod
• No flash
Surreal and fun. I like how the camera floats above the flower. The lights seem to be overexposed, maybe because your camera metered off the darknes of the camera?
