The inherently poor lighting conditions in the UK at this time of year lead me to taking shots indoors for this challenge, and inevitably, some sort of macro shot.
I actually took this picture with the map resting on the table by the window in my room, to make the most of the light available. I waited all weekend for the sun to come out, and when it did I had about 30 minutes to get all the shots that I wanted.
I'm very pleased with the final pic that I got, but my only minor gripe is that I wish the blue chart-pin was pointing more upwards and into the picture, as opposed to out of it. I guess I was concentrating more on getting the focus and DOF than the composition of the picture itself.

It may just be my love of maps, but I really am taken by this photo. I don't know if you played around with it at all, but I wonder what it would look like with the pinpoint of the blue pushpin in focus. I really love the way this turned out. Nice work!
So this is where you live? Okay I like it, the "point of view" you have chosen does make this ordinary photo of a map with a couple of pins on it look more interesting than just an ordinary photo of a map with a couple of pins on it (8)
