From an ant’s perspective

Yes, that is what happens when I put my Zero Image 45 with 25mm focal length on a very low tripod close to the ground.

With this extreme wide-angle images become quite special. And it is not quite easy to predict what ends up in the image either.
But the forest is a good place to practice, when both trees and moss stands still ….

Enjoy! 🙂

Marie, great low angle perspective and the way the landscape seems to be in movement is really cool

  Thank you Mike!
  It is the extreme wide angle that makes it rush. Irresistible, and very special….

    The wide angle sure can’t be beat and I also think the pinhole adds to the effect as well by the photo being in well…pinhole focus..:-)

The first one in particular strikes me as something from a fairytale…perhaps from the perspective of some small magical creature…

  Thanks a lot Amy! It is the extreme wide angel that creates this feeling, I really like it a lot.

Wonderful! They both feel full of motion, especially the first one – as if the trees and forest were a rushing river.

  Thank you very much Jacki! It is quite funny to look at things we always see in another perspective in this close up way, it sure looks different.

I agree with dogdreamzzz…I think it is may be because of the sensation of movement you got with the tres…

  Thank you very much!
  It is the extreme wide angle that does it. You really come to look at it an unusual way.

Två väldigt starka bilder! Det första jag tänker på är ordet ångest.

Det finns en oro, en stress och en rastlöshet. Något är på väg att hända.
Och i detta så uppstår en form av kaos, där man nästan kan ana att det innan
varit ett “lugn innan stormen” på nåt sätt. Det rör på sig, man försöker fly men
man kommer inte ifrån. Lika bra att vara där, mitt i rädslan och mitt i kaoset.

Jag tycker mycket om bilderna, du har skildrat skogens olika humör här.
Känns som att jag genast vill vara där och stanna där tills allt klingat av.

Som sagt, två starka bilder, Marie!

(Hoppas jag inte surrat för konstigt här nu…) 😉

  Inte alls, tack Malin! Spännande att du ser detta, för mig är det inte alls så, bara en känsla av att alla olika detaljer pysslar med sitt eget liv och i olika takt fast i samma helhet. Men det går inte att förklara, bara känna. 😉
