When I take photographs of landscapes, most of the time I am standing up and shooting with a wide angle lens. I have been reading a lot of articles on perspective and challenging myself to look at things differently. I have found if I get lower to the ground and get a bit more of the foreground into view I get a different and very pleasing composition. In this first photo I am crouching down a bit to get more of the rocks in the foreground in the photo.
Look at the different look you get when you get really low and make the foreground pop out. In this photo I am sitting on one of the rocks and holding my camera low.
In this photo I get even lower. I am was walking on the beach with my Canon point and shoot camera and I bent down and held my camera in the middle of the shells. I love the effect this got me with all the shells up close and the sky in the background.
Flower photos are always fun, but again be sure to change your perspective. Everyone seems to take flowers while they are standing up and looking down at the flower. In this photo I sat down in front of the flowers and zoomed in on one flower to create a different look.
