Try different points of view

tattoodjay (73) in whalepower • 7 years ago (edited)

I thought for this post I would highlight when out taking photos whether with a cell phone, point and shoot or a DSLR you can find more interesting photos to share by changing your point of view when shooting

I.e. Don't just see something and snap a shot and move on

Move around and look for other angles or perspectives that could make for a shot that is different from the norm

Here is a shot in a little park of our city hall with some spring colors

It's a new very enough shot but I moved around and got a shot with the statue in view (admittedly this was in another day in another season which you probably noticed)

I liked this as well but it's one I have seen taken many times by others in the area

Then I had an idea for something different and came up with this shot

Which is one I really like

All photos taken by me using a Sony A6000 or A6590 mirrorless camera

Nice shots! This is my hometown! To the right of city hall there is a little brunch restaurant on River Street called "The Corner"... I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already! Best food in town IMO. Cheers! Great to see other Milford folks on here

Very nice! I tend to use the spray-and-pray method of photography myself, getting many shots from many different angles hoping that a handful turn out well :P Usually don't think of clever shots like that last one though.

Thats my style as well a lot of times may take shots from 50 different angles but only ever edit and share one or to of them
But over the last year I have found myself better and looking for different perspectives

That is very nice work and a good reminder for us all not to be lazy but to work that shot! I am looking at the a6500, but I do a fair amount of video and I hear they are still having some issues with overheating...but the pics look so nice! I might go for a 80d...I guess half the fun is in the looking!

Thanks, yes I still see posts about the over heating being an issue for some users, others not, but if I was doing a lot of video I would be concerned for sure but primarily I do photos, for me the size is the big plus I had leg problems and carrying my pentax which was so much heavier so I got a 5000 to use just for taking into the city but loved it and ended up selling the pentax, and loving the 6500 for what I do

You see, that's the way to do it. Looking for those unusual angles to get memorable shots.
It's a skill that has to be honed over time. Thanks for this @tattoodjay it is a great photo. The building reminds me of the scene in the movie. Back to the future. With the clock and all.
