Another Take on Perspective

Last time we looked at tilting the camera and getting a little more angle on the subject. This time lets look at shooting from an angle that isn’t normal. Often changing to a low-to-high or high-to-low angle can change the mood or the message we are trying to convey.
Small Perspective Change
Large Perspective Change

Good subject! I recently won a photo competition mainly because of the changed perspective. Since I'm using a large dSLR without tilting screen is sometimes can't see what i'm photographing. Don't worry, just zoom out a little more (so you can crop later on) and lower the camera and just fire away. Getting lucky is one of the advantages of being able to throw away your images

Some of my personal favourite shots have been taken when I couldn't see what I was shooting. I don't know if that's a good thing…
I agree. sometimes a very small change of angle produces a huge difference in the overall shot.
