Camera angle

View through a rock tunnel at Mount Pilatus, reflected in a puddle on the ground

Key tips

Use a low camera angle close to the ground to integrate the puddle as a reflective element into your composition.
Choose a low camera angle right at the level of the blooms to make the poppies the focal point of the composition.
