Kiu,
If my tulip shot looks normal to you, then you must be shorter than I ever imagined!

Or this.
Camera was pre-metered, and prefocused and placed on the forest floor, and the shutter tripped using the self-timer.

And here's another...
This is a self-portrait I took as part of a self-assignment on photos of photographers that I've been working on for several years.
Pre-focused and premetered, the camera wa placed on the ground and fired via the self-timer.

You guys are tough!
I shot 10 rolls of film during that holiday, can't find more than a hand-full of descent shots to show for it!!
I guess I need more practice?

Here is one I kinda like:

Although the angle is not strange and the frame was over-exposed a bit...

Let us see some strange angles from you guys.

I can agree with that but at the same time this type of photo must be among the most common.... so many people on vacations must have taken millions pf pictures like this from their hotel rooms looking out at the beach!! (I have a number of them myself :-) )

Kiu,
Other than the differences in the colours caused by the differences in the light on the two days, I find nothing interesting about these shots. There are neither any interesting patterns or graphic designs in the picture elements, nor people engaged in interesting activities to hold the viewers eye, and so for me, these are nothing more than holiday snapshots.
