Superhero Photo Challenge: The leaf perspective

This week's challenge has some very specific instructions. 

1. Walk outside

2. Find some leaves on the ground

3. Place your camera on the ground at leaf level and imagine the world from a leafy perspective. 

4. Don't worry about getting your eyeball way down on the sidewalk, just click the shutter and see what happens. 

5. Play! Experiment! 

6. Share your captures here.

i love laying in the dirt, playing in the leaves, getting small, and bringing my nikon precariously too close to still bodies of water. here's a collection of nature's love from the ground:

OMG! I love this. I've been doing it ever since the leaves started falling. It's always such a surprise because, short of laying flat on the ground, you have no idea what is going to happen once you press that shutter.

Here's one of many to come.

i love taking my eyes away from the camera and seeing what magic it can create!

[Gayle]

This was fun! You'll be able to see in my shot that my husband did some leaf clean up yesterday!

[tonya]

Ha, great minds think alike! I took http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyadoughty/2988986943/ this photo l;ast weekend using this exact same method!

[Diane Schuller]

ooh oooh ... I already did that weeks ago (the leaves are all gone now way up here in the north) I'll go add my watermark and resize a couple of them and post them asap ... I'll be back with a link!

[ursula]

I took this on a stop to play in leaves before leaving Boston and heading home to Florida last week.

I'm Back!! Okay, I only posted 4 but they're all in one post so they're easy to view -- I did this back in the first week of October while we still had leaves. Great challenge!!

I've been trying to get different angles and actually lay down on the grass. I didn't feel as silly as I thought I would!

[Jamie]

This was so much fun!

...I have mostly pine tree's in my yard. I did find some..but found more pinecones than anything. I loved this challenge. Had to explain to hubby why I had pine sap all over my pants tho LOL. I wonder what the cars thought while driving past my house and seeing me laying on the ground =)

i'm back for more. i had to share this 30 year old photo, it's a leaf perspective... photo taken by my dad of me, age 3, and a pile of leafy goodness.

[Shawna]

Thanks for this! I broke out of my comfort zone with this one and had a lot of fun along the way! I blogged about the experience here:

This one was actually taken a few weeks ago..when the leaves first began to change colors:

Our leaves are now a soggy, sloppy mess.
These low leaf perspective shots were taken earlier in the fall:

i wouldn't have thought of actually setting my camera all the way down on the ground, i don't think. in this one, i did just exactly that, no viewfinder cheating, and it was my favorite!

although i also loved this tree:

Seriously, I have about 100 leaf shots. But for some reason I like this one.

I always love the leaf perspective... Although it's spring here, so there aren't enough of them.
