Technical Value II. The shooting angle.

Finding fresh camera angle to shoot.
Angles can normally be separated into high angle, low angle AND eye-level perspective. 

Changing the angle of shooting will determine the size of the subject.
If you are shoot from the low angle, your subject will look a bit bigger than the normal size.
On the other hand, the subject will look smaller and tiny if the camera is put on the sky angle.

(i). A high angle is taking the photo from high to low and normally from the sky to the ground.

The subject is more likely to be twisted and not according to the truth with the appears of varnishing point at the bottom. However, the high angle is needed when we want to create some unique angle of a picture that can grab people's attention.

(ii). Low angle is to take a photo from ground perspective to the sky.
(Worm's-eye view)

The subject in the photo is bigger and looks more gigantic.

The method of creating fresh angle.

(i). move around to pick the best angle for a photo.

(ii). pick a suitable height to convey the message that hidden in a photo: high angle, low angle or even in eye-level.

Tips: taking photos of children, pets or even plants are encouraged to shoot according to their height and thus capture the world from their point of view. If we are just shoot from own height, the subjects will literally look like they have been tossed on the ground.

(iii). Get close, and even closer......

Robert Capa said: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." The great way to make your photos more intimate is to get closer to the subjects.

(iv). include some interesting reflection.

This can improve the photos by making mundane scenes exciting. The reflections can be found on various surfaces, water is perhaps the most obvious medium for interesting and unique reflections.

The reflection of an old-style building is helping to make the bottle into a more interesting scenes.

The reflection of "TangLung" is highlighting the issue of Chinese New Year.

(v). Tilt the photos for a more dynamic look.

The space in a dinner is tilt to build up some curiosity and uniqueness.

It's not necessary to always keep our view on the straight and perfectly horizontal photos. Tilting the camera will result in a far more interesting and unique photos.

Always keep experimenting with unique shooting angles to get more fresh and kick out all the stale-photos.
