Default Wind chimes

Been playing around with my camera in the garden. These are some of my wind chimes shot from below. They move around quite a lot! Any advice?

Congratulations for trying a different and unique point of view. I think your greatest challenge here is depth of field since the chimes are long and at the close shooting distance you probably can't carry the depth even at a small f/stop. Maybe it is best to accept the motion and shoot longer shutter speeds and see what happens. It would make for an interesting shot if they were different colored chimes and swirled in the breeze at a long exposure. Thanks for trying something different.
