I did exactly this a few years ago - held the camera under my SU HS2
carburetors to get their undersides and let the auto-focus do the deed.
However, on several tries I got nothing - a blank black shot. I couldn't
figure it out why till I looked closely at the little lens on my Neeekon
CoolPix. Right in the middle of the lens was a drop of dirty oil that must
have landed there on the first try. The drop of oil told me more than the
subsequent pictures did.

These little pocket digital cameras have more applications than just taking
pictures for showing someone else.
Ever own a car that was so low you couldn't get a look under it? Just take
one of these little pocket digitals and set it for close or very-close
focusing (usually the symbol is a flower) and hold it under the car pointing
it towards your shock or universal joint, and take pictures until you get
one that shows the problem, or that you don't have a problem.
