Angles to give creativity to your pictures

Now that some of you have learned the lighting, composition, ‘DOF’and ‘POI’, it is time to give your pictures a creative touch. Usually while photographing one always stand looking face-on to their subject when they press the shutter button. Well there is nothing wrong at with it. But if one needs a different picture they have to start virtually start exercising while photographing.

This can be done only if you start moving from one position to another to get a better perspective to your images. For eg: look at you coffee cup from the position you are sitting while reading this, then gradually stand up and see the change in the angle, better still stand up on the chair and look directly at the cup, looks different right. Now get down and crouch on your knee, so that the table top and cup’s bottom is at you eye level, doesn’t it have a different perspective again. Now put this use to practical photography and one will get the static subject in different perspective with every angle you change.
