Default A bug's view

While out in a field of high grasses and flowers, I decided to try out a new blind perspective and the shots turned out fairly interesting.

Laid my camera down into the grass and blindly pushed the shutter.....better than throwing my camera into the air!

DSC_4854

A departure from the above...took a flower and laid it on the trunk of my car. If my car was actually clean, the reflection might have been much better.

Beautiful shots, Pat!

I love the blueness of the sky and the perspective is great. Well done

Great idea! That's a fantastic last image too, and your car trunk is much cleaner than mine! Good use of available material.

I like the second shot better than the car trunk one. The blue in the sky compliments the yellow and white of the flower ~ the photo looks wild and untamed .. it just SCREAMS JOY JOY JOY!!!!

Nice perspective. I like looking up at the flowers.

Your flowers look as though they are peering downward and then smiling for the camera. This is a clever idea. The light through the petals is very pretty!

The first one is my favorite. It's a great angle that most of us don't usually see.

They are all fantastic, but the very first one just grabbed me! Love that angle!
