Low Angle Composition

A view angle can be used to create compelling composition to a photo. By choosing unusual angle of view, one can create a composition that is something out of the ordinary. Getting down on the ground can help you see new subjects, or familiar subjects from an new perspective.

It‘s time to get down. This week’s theme is Low Angle. Low angle shots are generally taken from below eye level, looking up. Changing your point of view helps you see scenes from new perspectives, which can lead to more interesting compositions in your shots.

Your Assignment ~

Post one or two photos using a low angle PoV. Low angle shots taken from below eye level, looking up.

If you would like to discuss your experience, please do. We can learn from it.

Our goal is to get our best shot through the camera and not the computer, so please limit processing to basic adjustments. If you shoot in raw, you may adjust your photos as necessary.

Commenting - lets try to give support to one another and point out what we like about the resulting photo(s).

If you have criticism, keep it constructive and hide the comment.

Deadline to post for this assignment is Saturday, August 9th.

From knee high PoV. Egyptian Palm columns.

My old Sony doesn't have an LCD preview. I have to set the focus and shoot blind.
