Shoot Straight Up in a City

SUMMARY: A common trick when taking photos representing power and commerce.

One interesting angle when shooting digital photography while in a big city is to get between several tall buildings and shoot straight up, capturing the tops of the buildings as well as part of the sky. This can signify expansiveness, power, and is often used in commerce and business shots. A swivel viewfinder is helpful if your digital camera has this feature.
