Take High angle portraits with narrow DOF
I used a narrow DOF in this image , you can tell by the blur in the back ground , i took these images standing on a step and looking down at my subject, my focus point was suppose to be her face but she moved and the focus point is the camera..
f/ 1.8 shutter speed 1/400 ISO100
f/2.0 Shutter speed 1/500 ISO100
In this photo i used a f/ of 1.8 which is the lowest for my lens i also place my subject on the right of the frame and focused on her eyes, this high angle close up gives her an innocent look (besides the fact that shes only 2) and the narrow DOF along with placement of the subject gives it a dramatic feel. shooting from a higher angle makes the subject seem more vunrable or powerless when applied correctly.
shutter speed 1/60 f/1.8 ISO400
Take some portraits in which your subject is in the foreground. compose the shot so that there are elements in the mid ground and background
f/22.0 Shutter speed 1/15 ISO400
Take some low angle photographs with a wide DOF and some with a narrow DOF
Using a large f/ i took this photo of some architecture in Otara town centre i find this angle makes it seem taller and towering , lower angles seem to make you feel smaller and are kinda intimidating
f/18.0 shutter speed 1/100 ISO400
street scape
In this photo i stood on a train station bridge over the Penrose rail way and angled down, i used a wide depth of field so all of the photo is in focus a medium shutter means the motion is frozen.
In this image i used a narrow depth of field and the edges of the image are soft , i don't like this image because it looks blurred the focus point was the truck but that too is still blurred.
shutter speed 1/6400 f/1.8 ISO100
This is a high angle street scape/ rail scape photo i too with a wider depth of feild
Shutter 1/60 f/22 ISO100
Take 3 Low angle portraits using wide DOF
For this photo i lay on the floor and sit my subject on the couch, looking up this angle makes her look powerful and intimidating , but i think there is to much negative space at the top that could have been filled to make the photo more interesting. The way shes gazing at her bunny leads your eyes to it .
in this image i have lay on the floor looking up at my subject placing her on the right and cropping out her legs, she was suppose to be the focus of the image but i misfocused and the background is more in focus









Great pictures!!
