Now Ric, wouldn't it be embrassing to learn that, rather than being invisible, I'm just really, really, short? ; ^ ) Actually, I do shoot that way a lot, but mostly it's because what I'm looking at happens so fast that there's no time to do it any other way. What I'm seeing I can't anticipate at all; I can't keep the camera up all the time, but I can keep a finger on the button. If that raises questions about cropping and skew correction, I crop maybe one image in 10, and never more than 20%, max. I straighten even more infrequently, and usually when the picture is just slightly off (2-3 degrees). Somehow that bothers me more than a big skew.

Everybody, many thanks for your kind reception of, and curiousity about, these offerings from middle Tennesee.
