Learning Shots and Angles

Extreme Close-Up

If this shot was taken from farther away it would completely change the photograph. The idea of this picture is to magnify the eye so that it is seen as the most important thing in the photograph. If the camera was zoomed out, the picture would no longer focus on the eye and it would focus rather on either the entire animal or on something larger.

Close-Up

Low Angle

In order to show how high the plane is and to show how the people look in relation to the plane is what makes the low angle so important. If the picture was taken rather from inside the plane it would prove the plane to be much less important to the photograph.

Symmetry

Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds works well for this picture because it draws all of the attention to the hawk rather than to the background of the picture. It also splits the picture up well.
