Digital Photography Secret 8
Unusual Angles
Most photos are shot at eye level. I think this is because
traditionally, you needed to have the viewvinder up to your eye to
ensure you get everyone in the shot.Because most digital cameras have an inbuilt LCD, you can now take the
camera away from your eye and try taking photos from unusual angles.Try tilting the camera left or right to better position your subject
in the frame. Try taking the photo from below, or above your subject.
Try getting further away or closer.There’s always more than one way to photograph a subject. Using
different camera angles can make an otherwise boring image really
stand out. The more you practice using different angles, the quicker
you’ll know what works and what doesn’t.Angle Tip : Lie on the ground and point your camera towards the
sky for an interesting angle to shoot large monuments with.Next time : I almost fell out of my chair when I first discovered this
