September’s theme / technique: What’s the POV?
The phrase ‘point of view‘ in photography simply means the position from which the camera sees the scene. It refers to the angle or place from where you shoot. Try different ways of photographing the same subject rather than looking at it from front on.
-
-
- Use your feet and move around the subject looking for an optimum angle.
- Don’t be afraid to get down on your stomach or climb a tree.
- Look for different and dramatic angles that will make your images more striking.
- Shooting from eye-level helps your viewer connect with the subject.
- Look up – the subject will seem more powerful
- Look down – the subject will appear smaller, inferior.
- Indirect – focus on the shadow rather than the subject
- Abstract – Spin around or tilt the frame
- Take a photo with something between you and your subject
-
This week's assignment - focus on the shadow of your subject rather than the subject
If you would like to join in with the 2020 photo challenge then please take a look at my 2020 Photo Challenge page. No complicated rules, just a camera required 🙂
-
- Create your own post with some information about how you composed the shot.
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Add the tag #2020PhotoChallenge so everyone can find your entry easily in the WP Reader
- Get your post(s) in by the end of the month, as the new theme comes out on the first Sunday in October.
Ooh, I think I have quite a few shadow subjects – I do like a good shadow. I’ll have a hunt. Meanwhile, yours are lovely – especially the first one.
Thank you. I do like a good shadow 😊
I took some nice shadow photos on a rainforest walk last week.
Ooh, hope you’ll share them!
I could do a double up with you and Becky’s challenge. 🙂
You could, but she doesn’t start until October and my shadows are this week only 🤔
I’ll see what I can do.
I lo-o-o-o-ve shadows, Jude 🙂 🙂 That key is rather a nice one. Happy Sunday!
Happy sunshine ☀ too!
Hooray for shadows!
Nice shadows and must be good to see the sun too
Thoroughly enjoying the late summer sunshine ☀ 😊
I’m enjoying the freshness of spring, no humidity, yet….
Rather humid here this week!

And fog today 😩
