Get Down For A Better Photo Perspective

photography Get Down For A Better Photo Perspective

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.

Mushrooms

Now this photo makes me feel a bit like I'm Alice in "Alice in Wonderland!"

Mushrooms

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.

I am married to my best friend. That sounds cheesy, but it's true. I love photography, reading, and napping (but not necessarily in that order).
