Different Angles


Took pictures of beautiful flowers that I put in a vase today. I tried taking the picture from different angles. From the side, from the top, slightly slanted, different background and different light exposures. Every picture looks different in some way. Those that are taken from the top view cannot tell they are the same flowers from the side view. I picked out the best shot which is taken from looking down on the flowers.

Same flowers look very different from different perspectives. It is the same that different people have different opinions on issues. Everyone is right from their perspective. There does not need to be just one right answer. It is not just black and white. I am right and you are wrong or vice versa. Our minds should be open and accept new ideas and respect others point of views. What we see is just one side of the view, far from the true nature of things. We need to look deeper into things with an open mind to truly understand.

By the way, the reason why the picture taken from the top look the best is because it is an unusual way that people look at flowers in a vase. People usually look at it at the eye level from the side. The different and unusual view makes the picture look more interesting. We can sure apply this observation in other things in life.
