Harry's Point Of View

It wasn't too hot today so I actually carried my travel tripod while walking Harry. I had it set so it was a bit taller than he was so I did not have to crouch and risk falling, and I tried to take pictures from his point of view. I tried to take pictures whenever and wherever he would stop to "smell the roses" (a useful acronym for what he was actually doing.) I pretended that he was taking the pictures (except for #3 I did not look through the viewfinder) and I tried to act surprised when his images looked like mine.

It was a bit of a trick carrying the camera on a tripod, using a cane, and holding Harry's leash. And Harry kept getting his leash wrapped around the tripod making life even more interesting.

The first two are composites. #3 and #4 are as they were shot, except I cloned out some macadam in the lower left corner of #3 and cropped #4 a bit. The rest have had their perspective adjusted so verticals are upright and then added the border lines and fills to preserve the 2x3 aspect ratio.

'...whenever and wherever he would stop to "smell the roses"....'

We always called it, "Checking their PMail".

I have, almost always, loved getting the camera low in a composition. And there are times it is difficult getting up.

Thank you for your posts as I find them adventurous and educational. Oh, and tell Harry I said, "Hello."
