Taking Pictures of Entire Large Plants

At the CB, Heterotheca subaxillaris that you may know as Heterotheca latifolia is pretty dang rare. But this sweltering summer, we have one great big one. Here ‘tis, the great big camphorweed, that is. And once more Crumby goes, How the heck does an average amateur photographer take a picture of an entire large weed that is interesting for an average lady, man or child to espy?

Well. Crumby is getting no closer to an answer. No closer. Like maybe pictures of entire large plants or weeds are just not very interesting. Not interesting.

Or, Crumby figures that maybe a fisheye lens with extreme close focus capability might make the dern big plant more interesting. Or, maybe a wide angle close focusing lens would do the trick.

This shot is slightly cropped, Crumby could have moved a hair closer. It’s shot at 28mm equivalent. Not interesting. Needs to be much closer and wider maybe, or distorted.

Well. The challenge is, lots of large weeds this sweltering August. You may know that Agalinis heterophylla, Aster subulatus and the broomweeds all appear superficially similar considered vegetatively. How could an average amateur photographer take distinguishing pictures of entire plant examples of all three or four or five and have those pictures engender buttock loads of keen interest in casual observers? Keen interest such that the casual observer might exclaim, Ooo!, Oh!, Ah!, Well I never!. Is that even possible?
