Rich said: I used to be able to shoot photos from that angle!
If I remember correctly, I crawled around on the ground to a nearby tree to help me get up from the ground. I learned that I can get up from the ground if I get on all fours and rise up from a downward dog position. But then my butt is sticking up in the air as I make my way up to a standing position. Not a cool look for someone who is trying to pull of the professional photographer look. I am thinking of carrying a short chunky stick with me to help me push up from the ground. One of our club's photographers carried a monopod with him and he used it as a walking stick AND a way to help him stand up from being on his knees to take a shot.
You have a nice lake to look at, Rich. Water is calming and cooling. Good for you.
Don, I am sorry that you missed out on the motorbike rally. bummer. That green three-wheel bike looks so comfortable and practical. That is something that I could see myself riding on the way to the grocery store.
My weekend trip with the photo club was a dud too. We thought we were attending a COUNTY fair but it turned out to be a VENDOR fair for outdoor sports and activities, like hunting, fishing, trapping, four-wheeling, etc. I brought home nothing good, and it was so hot. The club went on another shoot today to downtown Detroit, but I passed. So, I went out this morning to take photographs of spider webs, that is one of our special assignments for Thursday's club meeting. I only got one good shot so I may have to visit the local park tomorrow morning to get more.
