How to Find the Letter Z in Nature Shots With Photography

Photography allows you to capture those magical moments that words have trouble conveying. With the world being both your model and your canvas, an inventive and persistent eye can find images that can be recorded and passed on to your audience.

Using nature as a backdrop, you can photograph manmade symbols, giving them a deeper and grander meaning. Finding the letter "Z" in nature shots can give your work multiple layers, allowing you to grow as a photographer.

Instructions

- 1
  Inspect the different angles from underneath a tree. Straight tree branches can cross each other, forming the letter "Z." Find a tree that has fewer leaves so that the branches are barer and more prominent.
- 2
  Photograph a praying mantis. When extended, their spiked forelegs can appear as Zs. Although this is an inventive technique, it may require some patience as you wait for the insect to appear.
- 3
  Inspect a spider web. The lines in a spider web are situated in sections. Two sections can line up at a certain angle to create a Z. Begin by inspecting the top, right areas of the web for the best angles, moving around the web to find other good, clear shots.
- 4
  Look down at the grass. Individual blades of grass may have been pressed downwards, creating a Z formation. Inspect longer blades of grass, because their additional weight might have helped them to naturally form the letter.
