For the fun of it, I just dug out my old trusty Nikon Coolpix 990... (3 mp circa 2000)... and pointed it down at the base of my desk lamp. The body swivels back and I could watch the lcd screen to compose the picture... My computer monitor is visible on the right also..... I like the way the curved metal base bends space and also made my hands really huge relative to the rest of me. No digital tricks, just staight shooting by available light.
