How do you come up with good photography techniques and visually appealing photos? Do you need to have a dear camera or any other special equipment to do it? Well, to be brutally truthful about it, even the best gear will not be in a position to help you if you don't use the correct lighting and composition methods. There's simply no other way around it. You have got to follow these suggestions to come up with pictures you may be pleased with.

Aside from evangelistically applying theRule of Thirds and other such similarly important composition strategies, the viewpoint or the camera angle from which you are shooting your subject also resolves whether a photo will end up being bad or good, and dull or fascinating. Utilising the most acceptable perspective to frame your subject can most certainly add dimension, substance, drama and excitement to your photographs.

You can easily change the perspective by which a particular subject is viewed by merely changing your perspective or camera angle. We are used to seeing things at eye-level so merely changing the angle by which we look at them can have a serious effect on the composition of the ensuing photograph.

There are three perspectives you can use in shooting your subject: eyelevel perspective, low viewpoint and high perspective. What makes each one different to the others and when should you use them? Let us take a better look.

Eye-Level Viewpoint

This particular perspective is usually made of a height of 5.5 feet and is the commonest view we're all accustomed to. Such perspective is best used in taking portraits.

Low Perspective

If you'd like to stress the subject's strength and dominance or if you'd like to add stress and drama to your shots, you might like to consider using low viewpoint and low camera angle. This calls for shooting with your camera angle below your most important subject and angling your camera upward. This viewpoint is also handy for outlining a distinct split between the subject and its background and for emphasising the velocity and size of your main point of interest.

High Viewpoint

By utilizing this actual viewpoint, complicated scenes are put into an order since the relations of all the elements in the frame becomes more clearly outlined.

Knowing these things, you can start messing with different perspectives to see what you can come up with. Have fun messing with your viewpoint and camera angles!
