I almost forgot to post this! this past week's
Picaboo theme was perspective with the challenge of creative camera angles. I was also featured in
Picaboo's Blog again with the photo of a dracaena plant you see above! I'm no stranger as you know to camera angles since I use them constantly when photographing my
jewelry.

Creative camera angles can turn a boring photo into something extraordinary by just a simple tilt, looking up or down etc. No need for fancy camera features (although I LOVE my macro setting and black and white), all you need is to be willing to look a little silly sometimes to get a cool shot. You have a camera in your hand so people are less likely to point and laugh at you, hopefully.
I admit I cheated again this week with the photo of the Baha'i Temple you see above. I took it several years ago near Milwaukee when I was on a trip to Chicago. It was just too perfect for this week's theme and challenge so I had to include it. Also, it's not like I was going to drive all that way just to take that picture again! I love the architectural beauty, intricate details and the angles in the shot I took while looking up at it. I also got a shot of my inquisitive kitten, Zoe, with her buddy, Jasper, in the background and a cute shot of my daughter who loves her picture taken! She also insisted I take a picture of her lime green owl! Below are an old weathered fence at the beach and a little foot bridge over a creek. It was a fun week of pictures and gave me an excuse to get out of the house as well even if I did look a little crazy hugging a fence to get my picture ;)
And of course some lovely treasuries! The one on top I made and could use some more love! Thanks!
