Birds and Worms

Photo from “bird” point of view
Photo from “worm” point of view

For this photography task, we had to taker two photos. One from an angle of a bird and one from the angle of a worm.

For my bird photo, I like how the purple colour of the flower stands out against the green plant, I also think that it’s a good angle. I think I could have improved it by including more than just the flower into my photo to make it look like it’s more from a bird’s point of view.

What I like about my worm photo is how the focus is on the leaves and soil. I also like how the path is a leading line itself. I think it could be improved if I angled the camera up a bit more in order to make it seem more like the worm is looking upwards. I also think it could be improved if more of the ground in front of the camera was in focus.

A high angle can create a mood of something being small or insignificant. Using a high angle on a person often makes them seem submissive and in movies it’s often used on weak people and victims. A high angle could be used in photography to show someone or something being small or alone.

A low angle could create a mood of something being large and superior. Using a low angle can often make things look bigger, so using one can often represent someone being in charge or a villain type character. A low angle could be used when you want to photograph something to make it look bigger and to make something look more threatening.

    some good photos. To improve your high angle I think you could crop out some of your background, create more emphasis on the flower. The low angle is a great photo, though you could demonstrate low angle further by tilting the camera up.
