| Dock at Ketchikan, Alaska |
The vast majority of photos are taken from an adult's standing height, between five and six feet off the ground. You can make your pictures stand out by shooting from a different angle. Here I shot down on the dock from the height of the cruise ship deck for a unique perspective.
The opposite is also true; shoot with the camera at a low angle, such as on the ground. In the image below, I placed the camera about knee-high to photograph the flower from its height about six inches off the ground.
