Shoot at Different Angles

SUMMARY: Varying the angles of your animal and wildlife photos can create interesting effects.

Just as taking a photo of a person at different angles modifies the look of the shot, so does taking an animal's photo.

* Point your lens downward to make an animal appear diminutive, such as a small kitten or puppy.

* If you shoot upward, an animal tends to take on a greatened stature. Even the smallest animals could appear much larger than they really are.

* Shooting at an animal's eye-level can have other nice affects, as your photo tends to take on the animal's perception of the world.
