This spring, I was determined to capture the forsythia
before the delicate yellow flowers gave way to green leaves.
From previous years, I remembered the yellow flowers lasted only a brief time.

Yesterday, the rain showers left the day gray and overcast.
Not the best weather for picture taking.
As today dawned, the skies started to clear.
I hustled outside, and walked to the far corner
where we have several forsythia bushes growing along the garden fence.
I quickly set about snapping photographs.
First, I tried from the side. Then, looking straight down.
Well, to be honest, they seemed ho-hum. Yep, yellow flowers...nothing spectacular.
Then on a whim,
I set the camera on edge, below the flowers, pointing upward,
and tried again.
Hopefully, you, too, appreciate the change in point of view.
Oh, yes! Vantage point is everything!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference... beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThere's just something simply beautiful about the last shot...LOVE IT! I've tried the same angle when photographing daffodils and have loved the results.
