Do you ever feel like you’re in a photo rut? Having trouble breaking away from the standard horizontal, centered family photograph? If you’re photo catalog is starting to feel too familiar, you can liven things up simply by changing your perspective.
Up Close and Personal: Don’t be afraid to zoom in close on your subject; this technique can help create a more intimate feel in the photograph. If you’re worried about personal space becoming an issue and making your subject feel a bit nervous, use your zoom lens to keep your distance and get closer all at the same time. For suggestions on some great zoom lenses, see a selection of zoom lenses on our website.
Get Down Low: If you want to communicate the grandness of an oak tree or the spectacular sight of a historic building, consider getting low to the ground and shooting upward. Your knees might hurt for a few minutes but the result could take your breath away.
Or Stand Tall: Take a tip from real estate agents and grab a chair. Standing on a chair allows you to photograph from a broader viewpoint and capture images that would escape you if you shot at eye level. It’s also a great way to get those ‘children lying in the grass’ shots. Ever wondered how they did that? Now you know!
Summer is still in full swing, so have some fun with your photography and don’t forget to come by and show us your favorite pictures. We’d love to hear how you used our photo tips!
