Angles Most people shoot straight ahead from a standing position. That's why so may photograph look alike. Try shooting up, shooting down, getting on your knees, climbing tall buildings. Do anything you can to change the angle of view. Shoot through glass or screens, experiment with every possible aspect.

A small town baseball diamond shot through the grandstand screen. The crooked branches give an eerie feeling to the Eiffel Tower. By just moving to the side a little I was able to line up the gull with the rising sun.
