Point of View Photography
Different angles can produce some special pictures. There is no law that says all pictures have to be taken from eye level and straight on. By taking a picture from a different angle, you can produce a totally new feeling, mood or effect.
Worms Eye:
The worm's eye view can be pretty interesting. By lying down on your stomach, you can get flowers in the foreground to frame your subject. If you are taking pictures of small children or pets, getting the camera down on their level can improve results. You can also avoid cluttered or ugly background by changing your point of view.
Birds Eye:
Climbing up on things and looking down from a high point of view offers lots of different opportunities (birds eye) . With people looking up at the camera, you will see just their faces without having to pose their bodies or lining them up. From above, you can also use grass or flowers as a background.
Eye Level:
Taken at eye level, consider changing the angle, side to side not up and down, at which you photograph something to give the image more interest.
