Improvisation

You don’t always have to look through the viewfinder (or at the screen) of your digital camera to take a good picture.

Dave's fine study of a pint of ale, which you see posted herebelow (Glass Half Full), was made using a pub table to support his heavy camera, with added value from a few beer mats pushed underneath the lens, to get the low-angle framing just right.

A trial and error approach soon yielded exactly the shot he wanted.
