That is one trick I've used in the past to get more trunk length in the frame, but I don't remember doing it for those two. What you really need is a wide angle lens. The lens I used in those shots went down to 17 mm focal length (canon digital rebel XT). Most consumer grade point and shoots don't go that low so you take your picture and wonder why your picture is such a lame porthole-like truncation of what you see with your eyes.
It was a nice camera before I dunked it in a stream in the hocking hills last autumn (snap crackle pop...rice crispies). I put the full rez up on the file page for your viewing pleasure: http://tinyurl.com/kobzfl http://tinyurl.com/l6rsed On Aug 5, 2009, at 5:18 PM, DON BERTOLETTE wrote: > Randy- > Did you lay down to take these pictures?
