YES, there are two ways to control the size of the subject in an image: 1. Optically by zooming the lens or 2. Physically by moving the camera (and yourself). I used both methods just yesterday when I rediscovered these flowers growing around and under a conifer in the front garden here at the Camera Clubhouse. Read the new Photo Tip in that section of this site. Hopefully, you’ll get up and get out on days that have sun and those that don’t. Days without sun are perfect for scouting out locations that will be good for a photo shoot when the light level increases. After all, shadows and angles add interest to any image. Soft light is also and always your photo friend so increase the ISO just a bit to ensure a hand-holding shutter speed that’s right for you and the lens you’re using at that moment. Remember to See–Think–Act for keeper images.
A bit of sunlight makes everyone (and thing) happy!
