I wondered what a wee one would see as they wandered about the
weed patch yard. So I crept about with my macro lens and attempted to view things through the eyes of a fairy.
I took a ton of shots, all on auto focus because I couldn't quite scrunch myself up small enough to use the viewfinder to see and focus. All of these photos were a delightful surprise for me.
What a magical place the patches of wood sorrel and clover become, when viewed from a different perspective. Even the garden spider, who was ever so tiny to me, became extremely large when viewed through different eyes.
A lesson today; change your perspective and try to view things from another's point of view. You may be surprised by a renewed sense of wonder and the beauty of the world when you shift your point of view!
I am always amazed When I view your photography. One of my favorite kinds of photos are those taken at a different viewpoint. I wish I had such talent. My favorite is the spider. I love spiders.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are awesome! I love looking at them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reminder of the magic that surrounds us each and every day.
ReplyDeleteI like to do this too, Danni; I call this my "faerie cam". You have taken delightful photos, and I love your idea about viewing from a different perspective. A good way to look at life!!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a creative way to view your surroundings. I love it. The faerie cam is a super idea. The grands will have to experiment with that and see what surprises they come up with. We love you darling girl.

What a fabulous idea! Beautiful photographs and beautiful reminders to try looking at things from a different perspective. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI do this when I'm in the woods with my kids - I had started to wonder how come the woods seemed smaller - shorter even, these days (apart from the fact many are being shrunk with the growth of agriculture)so I bent down to kiddy height and realised ... oh I've gotten bigger, they looked more jungle or rainforest like from their level ... I do this often in the woods now, I like to feel smaller. Love your photo's.
ReplyDeleteMuch love x
You are such a fae, Danni! I love your perspective and the world around you with magickal eyes. The details are gorgeous and the light that surrounds all of the plants is sparkling away, o fae child ;)
ReplyDeleteNice. I did that just the other day also. A whole new world!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is just stunning
ReplyDeletelove this idea lady! beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - what a brilliant idea! I've never had much luck with the macro setting on my meagre camera. I'm going to try this now and see what happens. Love these shots!
ReplyDeleteI love fairy eye view photos! I do exactly what you do, put the camera on autofocus and I love the surprise of what they will turn out like.
