Have you ever taken a photo of , and felt just Blah about it?
Sometimes, it’s not about a new lens or a new camera when you find yourself uninspired in your photography. Today we are going to talk about something that doesn’t cost you anything. Because sometimes, making a better photo is just a simple as changing your point of view!
The first inclination of course, is to just take a photo, head on:
But these five different tips are guaranteed to help improve your photography!
1) Try shooting from above your subject.: get on a chair, stand on the toilet in the bathroom……
2) Shoot at their level. This is a great perspective for kids. You get to see things from their point of view!
3) Get Below your subject. Lay on the floor, ( or on the ground like I did here) on your back. Shoot UP at your subject!
4) Zero in on a small detail in the photo…..
5) Back up. Back up. Make the surrounding scenery help tell the story.
Final thought: To improve your photography takes Practice Practice Practice!! After a while, you won’t even have to think as these angles/perspectives become as natural as picking up your camera!
Now go forth and SHOOT! I can’t wait to see how your photography improves!

Thanks for these tips! I'm trying to improve my skills especially for the blog and I appreciate the tip on getting on their level to get their perspective. My trouble is taking pics of my son who is very active. Maybe you're planning to do a post on that in the future *wink* *wink*
