I like this idea Trev.
I have been looking to take a shot, of my own, of a particluar tree, on the Carlow to Kilkenny road. Hope to get out there this week-end.

Here's one taken by Cabaal : http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=60257384&postcount=946

Here's the rough co-ordinates for this, taken from google maps, if anyone else is interested

52deg 46' 26.04 N 6deg 57' 11.01 W

Hmmn I need to rotate it a little more. This was just after I had gotten my first decent camera. I've learnt a good bit since then so I should go back and try for some better images.

Shove a few beer mats under one of your legs, to try and balance yourself out.

Brilliant idea for a thread., it opens your eyes to some stuff thats been right under your nose really, theres some places i'd like to visit now that i look over this thread.,

heres some of my typical "everyone has one" type of shots.

I have this in about 5 different shutter speeds, never got around to combining them all together.,

The tip of the spire, everyone does the "looking up" shot.,

These feckers pop up an awful lot too and they nearly always have that annoying anglular lens/image stretch too. And they're of nothing and it really is a shot from boredom/anticepation. Silk purses and sows ears come to mind.
