The other evening after dinner I walked around the back yard again exploring with the camera. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I had left the 35mm lens on the camera and wanted to ‘see’ my familiar subjects in a different way. I ended up capturing some wild flowers/plants from a top down perspective.

This was definitely something a little different for me. Not so much the top down look but after the first image I purposely looked for additional opportunities with this view in mind. Usually I just point the camera at some subjects that catch my eye and review what I get back in the house. It is rare that I plan out a post or a group of images with a single theme in mind.

It was fun…
