A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

Low Angle by TJ


My idea and inspiration for low angle came pretty much as soon as we had decided on the topic. I was fortunate enough to get tickets for an Olympic football match at Wembley Stadium, and during the half time interval I went out onto the concourse, sat down on the floor and started taking pictures. I immediately discovered that just taking a picture of loads of people from the ground and a low angle was rather ordinary so I looked for something a little more unusual. I decided to try and capture some motion so I focused the camera on the steward in the orange jacket and then set the camera to multi burst and took the photos. I loved the results with the people walking past in the forefront as at first glance you are not quite sure what you are actually seeing. I used a lot of editing as I felt the orange jacket was a great focal point so I took all the colour out of the picture bar the jacket, and then I went quite heavy with the brightness and contrast.

In my other photos the top left photo is a recent shot from Littlewick Show where I lay down in the grass and took a photo of the horse show in the distance. The photo top right was taken at Wembley once again and in this photo I focused on the person in blue jeans and got another person in blue trousers walking by. The picture at the bottom was waken at work and was taken with glasses placed at the forefront, and this was an idea that I would like to explore further both in terms of the idea and the location as I couldn't quite get the picture I wanted.

    Another great shot! You are on fire at the moment! I love the abstract nature of the shot, it would make an interesting large wall canvas i think! It perfectly shows the bustle and movement of the day and make you feel part of it all. I also really like the field one, as its interesting to just peek the tops of peoples head above the grass - kind of surreal!

    "Like", especially the field one which reminds me of when we tackled this subject at school. Jo R
