Ive shot from a low angle but not quite that low..

[Silverstangs]

Yeah that's exactly what I was looking at.

I was shooting construction shots with a EFS 10-22 on my 40D - all wide angle stuff.

Chuck, the job superintendent comes up and introduces me to his dad. The two of them were standing right next to each other and it was a perfect photo op and here I am with one of the most non portrait lenses around. I took several shots at different focal lengths but all of them from a distance of two feet or less. A couple came out OK and Chuck was pleased with the photos on line.

Not long after that Chuck's dad had a stroke and died and my photo was the last one of the two of them together. A shot I almost didn't take because I had the wrong lens became a very important photo.

Great article. The only low shots I have are of babies on the grass. Not really the same thing. lol Words to live by though.

Tom, I am glad you were able to pull some of those off for him.
