I've never thought of that angle...very, very cool shot. What did you shoot that with? I haven't been able to get an inside shot without a flash to save my life.

Neat shot. What did they think of you down on the floor like that?

Love this shot! Gotta hear the story of "How" the shot was taken along with student reaction. GREAT idea though, well done!

Thanks!

I took the shot with a Panasonic LX3. It is a P&S with a f2.0 24 mm lens.

Thanks, everyone.

I guess the best method to get something like this is to be like Dorothea Lange and become part of the environment so that the subjects ignore you. Another strategy for the classroom is to take it when they need to focus on their work, such as when taking a test. Here they were having to get an assignment done, so when I sat on the floor with my camera it warranted at most a passing glance from the few that noticed me down there.
