Photos in Full Bloom

When it comes to photographing flowers, your unique viewpoint plays an important role your final results. You stand before a field in full bloom, and while it�s beautiful in your eyes, the ability to translate its majesty through the lens requires a few techniques and a bit of planning.

For example, instead of standing above the flowers, consider getting low and shooting from that vantage point. Don�t shoot right away, but instead, spend a few moments taking in the scenery and contemplating which parts of nature speak loudest. Photographing from a lower point will allow you to better capture the details in the petals and the center, the small veins in the leaves and the slight change in hue in the bloom. Filling the frame whenever possible will add more grandeur to the image and experimenting with your perspective may lead you to uncover new ways of seeing nature � and sharing it with others.
