Sadly no-one took a shot of me making this photo! I'm sure it looked very funny me lying on the back under the deepest possible position of the tripod and trying to get the focus right. Even too narrow angle with my 15-30mm Tamron, so I cut out the lower part of the yard, to get this nice symmetry. HDR with PS-CC
