A different Perspective
Here are just a few tips on how to make your landscape photographs more interesting.Â
So often we take landscapes photographs of a beautiful scene and think it will make a good photograph, more often though it really doesn’t capture the moment, somehow something is missing. So how can you make it look more captivating, so much so that it will look very different from the way we look at it through our own eyes, and hopefully make for a much more interesting piece of Art.
Try these few tips.
1)Â Â Think about using the camera lens as a frame look at what you can see through the lens, and ask yourself is this an interesting frame for the photograph.
2)Â Â Choose a focal point, something to focus on, to direct the eye to, and so make the viewer think beyond what he is looking at.
3)Â Â So now you have the frame and the focal point, now you need to think about angle. Try lying down, getting the camera a low as possible, see how the objects near to the camera become very large compared to the landscape your photographing.
4)Â Â Alternatively, get up high to take the photograph, you will get much more detail of the area your trying to photograph.
  Try these tips and see how you get on.Â
  These photographs were part of a collection of images for my exhibition, Urban SanctuaryÂ

By getting as low down to the ground as possible with my camera  the grass and canes  appear to be much larger giving a different perspective to the image, The sky was an important element for the image, by taking the camera low more of the sky is revealed. I really wanted to give the feeling of space and freedom, showing that life at the allotments was a place of peace, beauty and freedom. Â
