It is the view from the last drops of your water bottle. And listed below are 44 more brilliantly conceptualized photos from this week’s Shooting Challenge :

Lead Shot – From the Eyes of Backwash

The perspective of my bottled water…I bring to a halt the bottom of a one liter sized bottle of water, fit it over the lens and posed for it. It was more of challenge to turn it into a self portrait. I tried it with a beer bottle, but even the smaller 58mm (filter size) lenses didn’t fit, I just ended up with several jaggedly broken beer bottles before I made up my mind to aim the angle of the bottle i was actually drinking from…Shot with a Canon Rebel XSi, Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4 Macro HSM Lens @ 58mm, ISO 100, 1/50, f/4.

Canon Fodder

I took this photo in Edinburgh, Scotland from the Edinburgh castle. I had left on Thursday the 21st and before I went to Edinburgh I checked what the Shooting Challenge of the week was and thought that i’ll possibly try this challenge. My camera is placed on top of some of the original cannons of the Edinburgh Castle. That’s the view point that a shooter of one of several cannons would have had when fighting a war back within the 16th century. Now this is a modern and lovely city, but I may only imagine then what this picture would appear like. I used a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, ISO of 80, 1/800.

Shooting From the Stirrups

My 5d sat this one out, and instead I attached my GoPro HD (yes it takes pictures too) to the engine block of my friend’s motorcycle. To capture this shot I put the GoPro in timelapse mode to take a photo every 2 seconds. This picture is from the turn onto Huron River Drive, some of the scenic drives in Ann Arbor, MI. Unfortunately the GoPro doesn’t shoot RAW, but a brief contrast curve and straightening in photoshop did wonders anyway.

Aperture

Here’s my 50mm lens aperture. I organize my Nikon D70s with a 105mm macro lens, on f/32, pointed straight at the 50mm. I placed a sticky note, with the letters ” CH” on it, behind the 50mm and a red light behind that. I ultimately got enough light with a 30 sec exposure at ISO 200. I had to set the aperture up to f/32 that allows you to get the depth, every other time you couldn’t read the letters behind the aperture.

I Wish to Ride My Bicycle

I used Gaffer’s Tape to tape up my camera to my bicycle. The bike is a Mixte Frame, so it made it easy to put the camera. I used a remote shutter to trigger the camera persistently while riding around the block as fast as i’ll. Pulled into photoshop for levels and color adjustment. Shot with a Canon XTi and the Sigma 10-20mm set at 10mm, F22, and aperture priority (1/10s).

The Mouse Won’t Play

Point of view of a mouse being dangerously stalked. Carved a hole in a cardboard box and put camera inside. The key difficulty was not the lighting (a number of desk lamps set around the box), but getting Manly here to cooperate by luring him with a string going into the box (seen out of focus). Nikon D40 w/ 35mm f/1.8 Nikor lens. ISO 200, f/2 and 1/15″ exposure.

The Beer Monster Cometh

I needed to come back up with a reverse point of view for this image. As mentioned inside the challenge, 98% of most photos are from the view of someone. I wished to peer it within the eyes of an object. This shot was the second option I came up with, and one of the most practical of the two. My first idea was to take a shot from inside my toilet bowl. But voluntarily putting $3,000 worth of camera equipment into the same
place I take a dump day by day didn’t appear like the greatest idea. So it was off to the fridge!

I took about 50 shots of my father and myself in total, in hopes of getting the fitting focus point and composition. It was difficult as i’ll not check the LCD screen unless I took the camera out, which was
balanced on top of jelly jars. Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 17-40mm f/4L lens, and wireless shutter remote. 1/25th, ISO 4000, f/4.0

Winner

I went inside a pumpkin! I carved a peek-a-boo hole within the back rather then the pinnacle to allow for the lens. Sat Mr. Pumpkin on a stool and tilted him up a little with a mitten tucked under his front. My Gorillapod (like it) was very handy to get a popular perspective. Discovered that the balcony rail and neighboring building make excellent teeth. The rail is lit by a 40W lamp ~4ft away. Awakened for sunrise the subsequent morning to work out what that may prove… Here it truly is- Good Morning! Edits only include removal of a couple of noise dots and a crop. As an aspect note, there is an airplane inside the lower right eye. Olympus E-510, 14-42mm, 1.3″ , F22, ISO 100.

Thanks to all folks that risked lens and limb for this week’s challenge. Be sure you admire all of the entries inside the gallery below (seriously, the highlighted photos barely do each week justice) or snag the whole size shots on flickr. Also, remember the fact that you will be photographing and submitting Fall Leaves .

Shameless self-promotion . Extremely , extremely shameless.
