How so? I would like to see both ways, and these "outside of the box" ideas interest me. Could you post some examples?

One example, a boring example though, would be to show the world through a zebras eyes. Zebras only see a greyscale. But that is an unusual perspective for us, but the usual perspective for a zebra.
If you somehow would bring the camera to the side of the zebra, showing it's muzzle and so on and maybe something that would threaten the zebra. Then it would be an interesting picture with an unusual perspective.

That's just one example. You could apply this to a kid, a dog or whatever. As long as you can relate it to a perspective which isn't ordinary

now that is thinking outside the box

I've been loking for inspiration in the past days. Still, I couldn't find anything that could fit the theme.

Suddenly I took some milk from the fridge and I thought "hey I could place my camera inside and see what I get!"

I was all happy and stuff then I saw this example. Spoiled idea back searching

Hahah! I also liked the fridge idea. I have never actually done it before... maybe it could be a non-contest photo we could all try?!




Nice name change! I swear this just messes with my mind, I hate when people change names on here, they're like a whole different person to me

Thanks for the explanation. I will try to think outside the box when I am out shooting.

Think inside the box, and then do the opposite.

So I think i will shoot with a D700

After you're done with it, can you ship it to me?

Why? At a laughable 12.1 MP, you can't even crop without losing LOADS of quality.

Then ship me your 5D Mk II... And a 135? Ill use that for the contest.
