Angle and Leading Lines

Two other things to watch are the angle from which the picture is being shot and leading lines. One of the first mistakes a photographer cam make is immediately shooting from the same position: at eye level. Experiment with different views and angles. Stand on something or lie on the ground. Move around. Take several shots of the same object from different angles, each one will be different.

Not a typical angle:

Another technique to try is to use leading lines, lines that lead the viewer's eye to the center of interest. Leading lines can be fences, roads or even power lines. Below is and example, with the leading lines being the fence.
