Project 52 - Week 39: Low Angle

9/25/2015

0 Comments

 
The theme for this week is Low Angle.  Camera angles are an important ingredient to the end photo result.  I tend to think they are just as important as lighting in terms of getting your focus point across to the viewer.

A low angled shot places the camera below the eye level of a subject or below the horizon if the item you are photographing is an inanimate object, such as a building.

I reviewed some of my past photography work to see just how much I use low angles, and found that it is a tool I mostly use with architecture and buildings.  I do like the results of low angled work and after this week, I more than likely will be using this camera angle quite a bit more.

This week's subject is our cat, Barney.  He is the barn cat that appeared last November out of nowhere and has since moved into the house on his own accord.  The name "Barney" is the result of what happens when you allow your husband to name things.  He responded to it almost immediately (naturally), so I could not make a case for changing it.

I am below Barney as he sits on our patio stone wall.  There is a series of steps that lead from the patio down to a gate, and I am on the last step.  Luckily, he was fixated on me because he associates me with food.  You can see how the lower angle shows you what is above him, and accentuates his presence.  A straight on shot would have been my usual fare, but I like this angle much better.

I found as I did a review of my past work that I have, on occasion, used low angle for shelter shots, and also with horses, or to accentuate a sky scene.  Here are some examples of past work using low angle.  In each case, I am below the eye level, or horizon with the shot.  I have also photographed mushrooms and flowers from a lower angle.

The fun thing about Project 52, is you get to check out the work of other photographers.  This week there are three of us participating.  Start here with Amyranth Pet Photography.
