... over the weekend?
Did anyone pick up on my suggestion of taking photos of a familiar subject from a new viewpoint?
Would you care to share the results with the rest of us?
I tried it out for myself.
I got down on the floor with Jess ... no, new readers, don't get too excited. She's my dog ... a bowl of goodies and a wide angle lens.
