Perspective

  1. Create perspective by using the lines and shapes within the shot to draw the eye.
  2. Tall buildings can appear to 'lean back' when photographed. Getting something in the foreground of your shot will counteract this.
  3. Increase the sense of perspective by using a wide-angle lens and adding foreground interest.
  4. A low viewpoint and wide-angle setting helps to contrast the size and shape of objects in interesting ways.
