I read a lot of blogs & eZines about photography. It provides me with ideas, tips and perspectives. One of the things I read about was looking at - and photographing - flowers from the underside. I have tried it, and it created a beautiful photo !
Still feeling a little "housebound" due to the weather, I was trying to find an indoor subject to shoot tonight. Alas, Diesel (aka Demon Spawn) has happily eaten all the blooms off Pat's orchids ! Sitting in the living room, I was admiring how one of the table lamps lit this ivy from below. I like how warm the light is, and how it plays up the colour of the leaves.
In this image, I was struck by how many shades of green were visible. And then I started seeing the yellow hues, too ! The composition is nothing to write home about, but I love how well my 40mm prime lens picked up the subtle shading.
This is the same plant, but from a different angle. The very large aperture really creates a visible depth of field - you can see that not all the leaves are in focus. My hope was that it would have an entirely different look & feel. It does, and it doesn't. Personally, I'm not sure I like this picture !
