“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”
—Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
This week my assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to explore low perspective. I had intended to find interesting shots at WorldFest this weekend, but they changed their policy and I wasn’t allowed to bring my camera in. This turned out to be a blessing, which I will write about later this week, but it meant my challenge photos had to wait until this morning.
Most of these shots are from my yard a little after sunrise. While these photos are somewhat similar to the ones I took in Week 20 for Unique Perspective, I hope you will find something new to enjoy here. Let me know if you have a favorite and have a fantastic week.










After looking down for so long, I had to look up. The darkness on the right makes it look a bit like the view of Earth from space.

Wonderful images! I wonder if low perspective and macro shots are similar.
LikeLiked by 1 person
As I understand it, low perspective just means shot at a low angle and macro is close up shots. These probably are a bit of both. My tendencies are always toward close up. I love details.

Dear Bridgette, I’m sorry I’m late commenting and more so that I’ve missed some of your recent posts, too, which is unusual for me. I just haven’t been in the best place for a while and have found it very difficult to concentrate and comment on everybody’s work. Aside from that, I love your low-perspective photos. I have three favourites among them. Photo number #4 gives me hope – an unusual perspective perhaps, but it reminds me that even though plants (and people’s hearts) wither, next to them is new life dawning. The flowers at their different stages in that photo mean that to me. I also like #6 because of the intricacies of the delicate tendrils and the soft hairs on the plant. Finally, I also like #10 because I’m intrigued to know what is in the rest of that room, what secrets it holds etc. And, of course, the photo of that sky is just spectacular. What a gorgeous, vivid colour and I can see all sorts of shapes in the clouds. Thank you for sharing these, my friend. I do hope you are feeling better and that you and your lovely family are well. Much love ~ Ellie Xxx 🌷💛🌹
