Mastering Perspectives in Outdoor Photography

In this premium video, Outdoor Photography Guide’s David Johnston demonstrates the art of mastering perspectives in outdoor scenes.

When creating perspective, you increase the attraction of the subject and decrease the distractions. David focuses on three perspectives The first is eye level perspective such as beautiful overlooks, mountains under a colorful sky, for instance. Eye level images are often gigantic. Eye level perspective also includes wildlife photography.

The second is low perspective, which adds drama and power to the subject - for example, a church on a hill or a waterfalls. Photographing birds from a low perspective adds to their size. You can even lie down in wild grasses to blur your subject such as a setting sun.

The third is high perspective. Drone photography, for example. When you’re walking a trail, focus straight down, and you’ll discover natural patterns on the ground.
