hail mary shot


(n.) a technique where a photographer raises the camera high above his head to get a picture of the crowd surrounding him. very popular up until the sixties when the rolleiflex cameras of the day permitted viewing from below on their groundgl-ss finders, now re-gaining popularity because the swiveling lcd screen on many digital cameras allows the same maneuver.
