Try A Different Angle

The other day, I was working in the yard, and something caught my eye…..

A closer look disclosed a beautiful mushroom….

Then I started playing with my phone, trying lots of different angles.

When I positioned it here…..

….this was the result…..

I just had to be careful to turn the camera in the right direction so it didn’t come out with ME in the photo…..

Peek-a-boo!!!

Next, I moved the camera further out……

….and came out with this photo……

But my favorite was this one…..

Isn’t this an amazing photo…..

This is one thing that I love about phone cameras…..you can put them in all sorts of positions and get photos from all different angles!!

SO, my takeaway…….

TRY DIFFERENT ANGLES (for your photos and for everything else in life as well!!)

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.

Wouldn’t it be fun to use this color palette?

It might be a bit challenging…..

Golden Hour Walks

I love to walk early in the morning and watch the sunrise as I stroll along.

Unfortunately, the exercise “quotient” is lower on these walks because I am constantly stopping to take photos in the gorgeous “Golden Hour” (1-hour after sunrise).

This is one of my shots from a few weeks ago…..

How can you see this and NOT have a wonderful day???

Perspective

I love taking photos that play with perspective, and iPhones are the BEST for this…….

I love being able to get down to ground-level and even with the subject WITHOUT having to actually get down on the ground!!

Now here is a photo for perspective….

Isn’t that fun!!!
