Most of us have received strange stares and comments. There are times that my wife & son had quickly left the area so people would not think that they are with me (the nut with the camera). You should have seen the looks I got when I got flat on my back in a Railroad Museum roundhouse to shoot the ceiling.

Stuuuuuuuupid.
But yes - I like the shot
