These were all shot, cept 1, at 10mm. Shot RAW, Converted to B & W in RAW and a Red Filter applied. The first two are what I call Shoe Tip Photos that sometimes work sometimes don't. I put the camera on Manual Focus and focus out about 2 ft. Then I place the camera on top of my shoe and just shoot. No framing, nothing, about 1 out of 20 come out but it's fun cause I don't know what I got till I get home.

Okay. Give up the camera and hand it over. (Shoe tip shots...how nuts is that?). I can't imagine how you came up with that idea (lol). These shots are awesome. Great concept...great idea...nice angles...wonderful composition...wonderful pics.

- In tune with the camera.

I came up with it cause I was on a Wet sandy beach in Oregon and I wanted the shot and wanted to support my camera but not get it sandy so I put it on top of my shoe. LOL

Great shots Moose and thanks for another fine tip you sent our way. The perspective in these shots always had me wondering how it was done, now I can try it.

These are stunning shots. I especially like 7. The contrast and texture is beautiful. It goes from the brightest white at the top to a deep ebony at the bottom. Simply gorgeous.

North, it's a filter effect you can use in Photoshop, they are for black and white images, different colors affect the tones of a black and white photo. You can use them on your camera lens or use the ones PS offer, certain cameras have the option built into them also.

Fantastic shots - I like them all especially the "shoe tip" photos. That is a neat idea that I will have to try sometime. I think the starfish one is really beautiful.
