Many people argue that everything has been seen and has been shot. In this digitized frantic era where dozens of Terabytes of images are being generated every second that seems like a valid argument. Still any given day you can see pictures that amaze you and involve the most mundane things in the world. The reason is that the people that took them were thinking outside the box. They see the world changing with every angle and try to make a photo out of it. Yes there is a photo for everything out there but hundreds of ways to take it; you just need to have an open mind.For example you have a wide-angle lens, go closer to your subject, shoot landscapes at 200mm, get down looking up and vice versa. The possibilities are endless and I have just started to explore them.
The Photo: I was with some friends at a climbing location outside Athens, shooting wide-angle all day long having fun, enjoying a perfectly nice day. Then when we were about to leave I saw this flower amongst others of its kind to stand triumphal in the sunset light with the mountains in the background. I said this might be a good shot, if I can portray the light and the shape of the mountains. Changed lens and shot it. It’s not that interesting capture yet I am quite happy I took it.Weird.(f1.8 ,85mm,iso100,1/3000sec)
