Last year I photographed the tail-end of the Comet. Amazing. Really.

I've tried the hip thing and never come out with a damned thiing, but this, this is something. Sweet perspective for sure, and with it, a lot of varying interest depending on which way my head is tilted. Well done, and great high contrast here as well.

Did you take this picture after being knocked off your skateboard?
Guest 30-Dec-2005 22:04
LOL! Great angle, for an original, dynamic image. I love it!

I love how you choose to keep the picture rotated sideways. I love that sharp angle and that the contrast of colors against a white sky. Very nice.

High taste and style ... Very clever as always.

Cool shot. My neck hurts from looking at it.

oops, your bus just fell down, Chris. Isn't it a crime to shoot things ;>)

Your modus operandi for this one produced a fine shot with killer perspective! Any chance of you doing an instructional video documenting your technique? ;-) V.

Ahhh yes... the hipshot... excellently done, surfer boy

So did you get run over to get the shot?
Guest 30-Dec-2005 03:26
nice perspective!
I have to move out of way before it tips over me...
Guest 30-Dec-2005 03:23
Wonder where the bus is heading?
Shoulder slung at the hip...click click? I've got to give it a try! GMV
