My GPS Camera Phone

Today’s photo is inspired by a tip from Chica over at Photo Projectz. She says in her first “Monday Photography Tips” post:

One of the things that I’ve found extremely rewarding is not looking through the viewfinder. Take the camera away from your eye, place it in an otherwise impossible position, and snap away. You might be surprised.

I took this to heart and gave it a go. The first few shots ended up looking horrendous, but I think it was only a matter of determining the angle of the dangle needed to get a decent shot.

This morning, I looked out the back door and saw the sunlight reflecting off of my daughter’s bike (which desperately needs to be ridden). Photo number one was a direct shot from the side and looked unimpressive at best. Then Chica’s tip came to mind and I put the camera underneath the back wheel, capturing a pretty good image. The angle is definitely more interesting than the first one.

After a little bit of cropping, burning and sharpening in Photoshop CS2, here’s the final image.
