3 Ways to Get an Offbeat View



Originally uploaded by jeffmontgomery
When I am teaching photography I am always saying that there are more photos there than people are taking. I suggest trying both verticals and horizontals, wide shots and detail shots, wide and detail in vertical and horzontal. Shoot profiles, front lighting backlighting (silhouette). Try something different. Well as I wait on Lightroom to convert a bunch of raw files to jpegs I am reading the June 2007 Popular Photography and I see this short little column called Prescription For Better Photos by Timothy Edberg.

3 Ways to Get an Offbeat View

1. Take a Worm's Eye View

2. Take a Bird's Eye View

3. Take a Inside Out View

There it is use these three rules with Nick Kelsh's 3 rules and have a fun weekend photographing.

I always try to use the mantra:

Change Your Angle
Change Your Lens
Change Your Light

Basically, the same general things as you've posted, but I like Threes, and it's easy to remember.
