Low angle testing

daisies samyang 1.jpg


Firstly you have to find the smallest flowers or other tiny objects close to the ground. After you do that, sacrifice your knees and elbows to be able to lower the camera so low that it is almost the ground level. If it is clean you can put it down, but when you work with borrowed equipment, pants and jumper will have to do the hard work to save the camera.

These are the shortest daisies I found :D Not that they are a lot taller in general, but these just beat the records.
Growing in the middle of a lawn they probably get trimmed often, so they figured it was pointless to grow long stems anyway :p

I like how dark and mysterious the shadows behind look.

In a more sunny spot in a garden, some dandelions are trying their luck. Growing between veggies is not always the best idea, but they did manage to bloom. Just beautiful!

And the big rock behind did a great job as well providing some nice contrast.

The lest is great on its own (and I think I did mention it on another post a while ago) and is very sharp. After some cropping the flower still looks pretty good. And it is not a macro lens!

But the intense colours and the bokeh is what I like the most here. The photos are hardly edited.

Last but not least - a tiny Iris. They were just starting to bloom and this was one of the first. Not much taller than the dandelions, but the colour... my my :)

As a bonus shot - a fly on one of the rocks you could see behind the dandelions. The hot sun warmed them up nicely turning them into a very attractive resting spot.

Low angles are so hard to take. I would be lying on the ground to do that or bottom up the air, haha! Good shots though and I like those colours. 🌼

Not much editing here (I am generally too lazy to edit a lot), mainly cropping and a bit of light adjustment. Camera and lens does most of the job here.

Thank you! :)

Good morning dear friend @ewkaw
I love this type of shots, sometimes we usually practice them in a panoramic way, I'll see if we can focus on a smaller target
Beautiful shots, excellent shots
Have a lovely day

The angle, lighting, and focus are sublime, love it! You captured the beauty of these tiny flowers so well!

The low angles really make them stand out; I seldom shoot photos in the way, but now that I see these results then I will experiment using this technique as well. Thanks for sharing :)

Amazing photographs, the perfectly capture the beauty in the mundane. We so often look over these beautiful flowers, not seeing them at all or seeing them as "weeds". Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photographs!

For sure! These "weeds" sometimes have the most beautiful flowers, you just need to bend down and look at them, appreciate them, and take photographs of them!
