THIS WEEK'S PROJECT: VIEWPOINT
Using the same subject, create these 5 completely different photographs, using only a change in viewpoint between images (no changing lenses). You should be able to do this with your phone camera.
1. Mostly
subject
2. No foreground at all
3. Mostly foreground
4. Mostly background
5. A pleasing balance between all 3
Use any subject, indoor or out, flash or no flash, whatever you fancy.
The key thing this week is to move your camera. Try shooting from underneath or directly above if you need to. Move closer and further away, and change the angle of the camera.
Don't worry about aperture, shutter speed and all the rest this week if you want a break from the technicals. Shoot on auto if you want to. We'll come back to aperture again in a couple of weeks when I remind you how to blur the background. For this week I just want you to start moving with your camera, and seeing what effect it has on the balance between subject, background and foreground.
