Shoot From Up Really High

SCOTT KELBY

Another perspective we don’t get to see very often is a very high perspective, and by that I mean shooting down from a second floor walkway or shooting straight down on boats going under a bridge. These high vantage points offer a view we don’t see every day (even though we may walk across a second floor walkway that’s open to the lower level, we don’t often see images taken from that vantage point). These work great for everything from shooting the bride encircled by her bridesmaids to shooting down on diners at an outdoor cafe. The shot above was taken straight down from my hotel room window while on vacation. Next time you want a totally different perspective on things, and don’t feel like getting your pants dirty from sitting down, look up and see if there’s a higher angle you could be shooting from.
