Sometimes you need to move the subject to compose the best shot. Sometimes you have to move you. This week pick a subject and photograph it from several different viewpoints and camera angles.
Things to consider:
- Remember to look left, look right, look up, look down, look all around to find the best angle.
- Moving the subject or the photographer can help improve a composition by eliminating distracting backgrounds or by adding more interesting backgrounds or framing.
- Moving the subject or the photographer can help improve improve the lighting.
- Sometimes you don't need a zoom lens - you just need to move your feet. Compose a photograph by shooting several feet from a subject for a wide angle shot, then move up a few feet and take another shot, then move forward and get a close up. Watch the depth of field.
