Day 5 - One Subject, Multiple Shots

I was reviewing my prior posts and noticed a pattern: I'd recommend taking multiple shots of subjects from different angles, but I never provided an example to show WHY that can make a difference. So, that's what I'll focus on today.

I was at the Natural History Museum, and came across one of my favorite subjects. This is a zoomed out version of it, taken several years ago:



This was one of my favorite pictures of all time. When I saw this yesterday, I decided to try to take different versions of it. Here they are:







As you can see, they're similar but not the same. So, the next time I suggest changing your angles and trying different things, feel free to refer to this example for ideas.

A few technical notes:

1) These pictures are more "green" than the original because I used the correct white balance - Tungsten.

2) A macro lens and a steady hand were needed to take these. However, if you are close enough to the subject, you can get by with a point-and-shoot.

Till tomorrow!
