take another picture.

Shoot a Photograph
from Bird??™s-Eye View
If you??™re photographing a crowded street or a group of
people, shoot from above the crowd. The resulting picture
will be more interesting. Photographing a street scene from
a rooftop or the window of a second-story hotel room will
give you a whole new perspective. You??™ll be able to see
more people from the elevated vantage point than if you
photograph the scene from street level. You can also create
interesting portraits of people from high vantage points.
Landscapes are great candidates for photographing from
a bird??™s-eye view as well. The following photograph was
taken from a trail that rims the cliffs at Pt. Reyes National
Seashore. When you see the beach in the distance and the
cliff at land??™s end, it??™s obvious the photo was taken from a
high vantage point.
