Thanks for all the replies folks.
This week I knew I wanted to do my boots. I've been looking for a decent pair to take me on my daily constitutional for 2-3 years now, and have finally found a pair that are rugged and tough. My 1st attempt was the "take a pic of your feet" but it was just a mess, so instead, I went for a low angle "product shot" type thing. I wanted the photo to be outside because a) inside with dirty boots would not be productive to my marriage, and b) They live outside...
I think my second shot actually shows "dirty" better, but I much prefer the composition on the first.
Week 2: Dirty by Ian, on Flickr
And the higher angle...
Too tight, too awkward of an angle.
Both images taken on Mamiya RB67 with 127mm Sekor C on HP5 Plus pushed to 1600 and developed in Ilfotec DD-X (mainly for my own reference!) 1/125 at f/11 and really didn't want to go any wider as the DoF would have been too think I think.
I'm quite pleased with the result. Background is a bit cluttered, and could have probably used a longer lens, and maybe a couple of inches higher up rather than actually resting the camera on the ground.
