Love Your Pictures, Love Your Pages

It's been an interesting week for me experimenting with my little point and shoot camera.  I have it doing things I never even thought about. 

Do you use a tripod for your camera?  I don't, but now thanks to Shimelle I realize it would be nice to use one.  However, there is a way to do it without a physical tripod.  Just use the ground, a step, even your knee and set up the shot from that point.  Have you ever seen a flower from a ground view?  It looks quite different.  Here's a couple to prove it:

I balanced the camera on a step to take this photo.  While it's not that exciting, it is a different view and one I never thought to take.

Here's another one:

The wild rainstorm we had last night snapped a branch on my rose bush resulting in the rose laying on the ground.  I perched the camera on the ground and it took a photo of the rose and my next-door neighbor's house.  It looks very different from this angle.  Notice how badly I have to weed around the rose bush!

I haven't tried this yet...but you certainly get a different view. I've found my little camera can do things I never thought it would.
