there are "twirl" designs on the horizontal section of the fencing as well...Yes, that is the twirl I am talking about. And I was using a 35mm lens, so therein lies the problem with this particular shot. I wanted to go in much closer and at a lower level, almost near the ground to shoot up at the twirls and then let the fence line drift to a blur. However, despite what I feel would have made a good shot. That was not to be.
Ground was too damn muddy, shirt was too colourful and white for me to go hardcore for one shot. Remember I shoot manual film, so I also cannot justify blasting off exposures to see if it'll work, and that I can't actually tell if anything is in focus without my eye to the viewfinder.
All advice, is good advice. Maybe next time I should pack an apron to allow me to better lie on the ground. Ha! Bet that would draw some curious snapshots of me.
edit: also I highly doubt colour would do much good, ground was a mixture of brown and green, fence was dark brown, tree was mostly dark brown and green leaves. But that's just me. In my opinion, that would have been utterly depressinglol.
what I was imagining was not lying down on the muddy ground
D) but rather just squatting down so your lens is level with the fence, and shoot along it.
