Not quite at the same level (either skill or altitude) but I just did
my first over the head monopod shot over this past weekend. It
actually worked out a bit better than expected. Still have some
issues to address, but I'm on my way. Next time I'll make sure
someone gets a photo of me doing it.
Perhaps I'll work on a new technique for Gardens!
