30 Day Good Photos Challenge, Day 5 - From a Low Angle
Every year the robins build their raggedy nests in the viburnum in front of the house. To get this "from a low angle" I had to position a stepladder underneath and then climb it backwards to shoot from below. I'm amazed that the nest stays put through the nesting season. It doesn't seem that securely positioned from below.
By the way, I never thought of photography as an extreme sport but might have to change my opinion! When positioning the ladder to get this shot, I pinched my fingers in the hinge. Ouch! In about a week I may be sharing photos of black 'n blue fingernails, I fear. . .
First of all - OUCH! Those pinchy injuries really hurt!
ReplyDeleteSecond - Love this picture. Like you, I don't see how some of these nests stay up. We've got a largish one in the tree just beyond our fence line that's been there through amazing wind for the last two years.
LOL...I love it Faye...this is a great shot. Its funny what we will do to get the perfect photo. Sometimes I think the neighbors think I am crazy because I am laying flat on my belly in the grass trying to get a shot of a flower or bug or grass! You are getting lots of practice for your big trip!
