For more interesting wildflower photos, play with shooting angles, perspective, lighting and background. Mid-day light is rarely flattering, but can be acceptable with interesting angles and careful backgrounds. To keep background muted (not busy) shoot with a big telephoto and/or minimal depth of focus. Backgrounds far from the subject also help. This globe mallow was shot from its level (about 10 inches off the ground) with a lighted background and then shadow background. Lens was Canon 100-400 4.5-5.6L with a 1.4 tele-extender. Click to see full image. I d probably crop square and might not show the background stem next time. It helps with plant ID, but distracts from the composition. Album: 2015-05-28
