Taking the Shot
When taking a shot with your camera there are many factors to think of. Those factors I will go through and explain below.
The anglesTaking a shot with your camera can be taken at many different levels. Here are the main ones.
Eye LevelThis angle is probably the most popular and most common. To achieve this shot, you must lower or higher yourself to reach the eye level of the object or person.
Making it tallerTo make the object in your photo taller all it takes is a wide view and a low level shot. What you need to do is get lower, on your knees if you have to, point the camera upwards and widen your shot.
Making it smallerThis shot is above eye angle and looks down on the object or focus of the photo. The purpose of the shot is to make the object seem smaller and technically more "vulnerable".
Types of photographyMacro shotThe Macro Shot is a super close up shot of an object. It is very detailed and clear. To get this shot many buy macro lenses.
