taking pictures of little ones in the orchards

Saturday, March 12, 2011

This little miss was just hanging out with me in some blossoming orchards. It was a bit cloudy outside on this Friday afternoon. But we shot these pictures about 4:00pm and the sun was peeking in and out of the clouds (sunset was probably around 5:30/5:45 that day).

My manual camera settings were (the same for both pictures):
ISO – 160
shutter – 1/200
aperture – F 3.2
lens – 50mm 1.2

Try to get different angles or perspectives of the same shot. Interesting right? Same baby, same chair, same orchards….totally different picture. :)

perspective in photography

Get down low. Look at life a little differently than you do when you’re standing. Sit down and look around. Then get on your knees and look around. How do things look differently? Now, lay down, how do they look now? Perspective. It’s a big deal. It changes things.

How do things look to you? What’s your perspective? Does life and whatever it is you photograph look the same every day? Does the picture you just shot look the same as your last picture? Well then…change something. Change your perspective. Are you standing up? Well, then get down on your knees, or better yet, your belly. Here’s a shot taken where I’m down on my knees or low to the ground somehow.

During this shot, I’m right above the baby, maybe on my tip toes…

Get down and see the world from their perspective…

And what about the sun? Where is the sun? Is it shining on your subject? What about having the sun behind your subject?

Change things up a bit. Don’t always look at things the same way every day or every time you pick up your camera. Sit down, lay down, stand up, get up on a chair, do something…to change your perspective. :)
