Ant's View II

Gallery: FloraPosted July 7, 2014198 views12 comments

Looking up at grape hyacinths and mixed tulips. The bg is the sky, and you can see bits of tree tops which I left in the lower corners. The hyacinths are only about 5-6" tall. I'll provide the tech data but not the way this was shot in the event anyone wants to guess. It's not what you might think. Nikon d600, 24-70, f22, 1/200, cpl. Thanks for looking; comments, suggestions, and questions welcome.

Love this.Excellent comp. I've never tried a shot like this. I guessI'm too lazy or too old to attempt to get down low enough.

WOW, this is killer Scott!..I would get rid of the trees though. Just my humble opinion, but I love this.

Scott - Trees are not obvious, so they being there or not does not hurt/aid the photo much in my opinion. The view is enough to tell it was low angle with sky as the background. I'd reckon these were growing in a rectangular container perhaps and you did not have to go down too much

. Another possibility is that this was shot into the water.

Whatever it is, this is my 2nd favourite in your Tulip Series. 1st posting still remains my favourite with this really close behind.

Scott:

However you did this, it is a fabulous and gorgeous shot. One of my fav in your poppy series.

"I'd reckon these were growing in a rectangular container." Bingo, Ram.

Container grown in the local public garden. The container was on a wall about 3 feet off the ground. Shot hh sitting on a walkway with the 24-70 at 60mm. Got a few stares but stayed clean and dry.

Lovely. I like this best of your tulip series thus far. I had guessed raised container or box.

Bright colors and a high key presentation are wonderful here. I have no nits and you deserve a beer

Lovely, crisp image, Scott, with the white bg seeming just right here for setting off the flower colours. The perspective you've taken makes for a lovely composition.

So this is out of the box? Or is the cat out of the bag?

Beautiful Scott, love it just the way it's posted
