ChangepositionSometimes bysimply
changing your choice of shootingposition
you can control how your field of detailseems
to spread across the frame. Aim foraneven
distribution of flowers/plants, with nobreaks.4
VarypitchAlter the angle of the lens to
the horizon. Pitching down will include
more of the foreground but may reveal more
stem. Pitching up will limit foreground but
bring flowers closer together, reducing ‘breaks’.Nearandfar
