Shoot from the hip

Learn to think of the viewfinder as optional...shoot for a day or a week without ever looking through the lens. I’m sure you will come up with many great images that show you the world in a way you haven’t seen before.

Well I didn't cover the display, and I certainly didn't manage a whole week of photography, but I did manage a lunchtime walk with the display switched off and without any sneaky peeks through the viewfinder.









The shot I was most pleased with was this one. I've been meaning to post a picture of where I work for a while now. I like the angle this came out at, I think the camera was held out at waist height. This week's challenge certainly encouraged me to try taking photos from angles where I can't see the display or look through the viewfinder, and it's a technique I'll try to employ more often.
