Landscape



In this picture, I used the natural features for framing. I tried more interesting point of view to shoot from. It is a different perspective down from the ground and looking up. It is like a point of view from an insect or a bug’s eye. You can feel as though you got smaller and the flower in front of you is a giant mutated plant. The foreground in this picture is the flower, which leads the eye toward the tall tree. I put the tree not in the middle but toward the edge to make a better ‘dramatic’ effect. Addition to that, I tried avoiding space to give blank feelings in the background.




I used the technique of using a lot of skies in the background. I placed the horizontal line near the bottom of the shots to add emphasis to the ground or to the sky respectively. I also zoomed out to get the picture of the sky and the kids playing basketball, which keeps everything in focus while helping to maximize the 'depth of field', or feeling of depth in your shots. The sky is filled with drama and interesting cloud formations. This picture would make a person feel open and cool and feel as thought a breeze had gone through their mind. It clears the mind.
