You often hear about getting down on a child's level when taking his photo.
The same applies to all sorts of small "stuff."
Here's an example of how "playing in the dirt" can improve your photography…
This is an o.k. photo of mushrooms that were growing in our backyard… you can tell they're mushrooms, but it's kind of a blah shot.
Now this photo makes me feel a bit like I'm Alice in "Alice in Wonderland!"
The mushrooms look HUGE. In fact, I bet some people wouldn't KNOW they were mushrooms…
Give this technique a try. All you have to lose is getting dirty pants and, perhaps, a few creaking bones. I experienced both while photographing these mushrooms, but I think it was worth it.
When she's not working or taking photographs, Rebecca blogs at Ramblings by Reba. She posts photos there, too.




Thats very fun! I love alice and wonderland btw
Haha, I love that first picture of the 2 photographers on the ground. My husband laughs at me whenever I do that, but hey, it works!
