Tip:
aDown
to their level............
aChoosing
a low viewpoint can enhance a subject adramatically.a
aThis
Loggerhead turtle hatchling, on the start of aits
epic journey from below the sand of Mon Repos abeach
is a classic example. While the image taken
afrom
above could also look great from this angle athe
feeling
of the hatchling coming straight atowards
you,
creates the sense of here and now.

Trivia: Did you know?
The
oldest surviving photographic negative on paper was taken by William Henry
Fox Talbot in Britain, during the late summer of 1835. This
rare item is now in the photographic collection of the Science Museum at
the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television at Bradford.
Talbot
was also a recognised philosopher, classicist, Egyptologist, mathematician,
philologist, transcriber and translator of Syrian and Chaldean cuneiform
texts, physicist, however it is the work he did in photography between 1834
and 1850 that established in principle and practise the foundation of modern
photography; the basis of the process that is used today.
