Well...to get this shot, I was using the 12mm wide end of my 12-32mm pancake zoom on my equally tiny GM5, and at first I tried standing in the 'stall' and holding my camera up as high as possible to get the angle I wanted but - it didn't work. So I took a deep breath and prayed that no one else would walk into the restroom while I was setting up the shot - I went into the adjacent, clambered up atop the, uh, the porcelain receptacle and was able from the new heightened perspective to lean over the adjacent stall and line up the shot - and the focus - that I wanted. I took the exposure, hopped down and just as I emerged, someone else entered to, uh, use the facilities, but they never gave me a second look. All's fair in love and war and...photographyNot sure if I can picture where you were/what you were doing when you took this shot or if I am just scared to!
Like the contextual relationship here......size of human element against the vastness of nature.Last Saturday it was warm enough I spotted this fisherman on a local lake.
