A huge pet peeve of mine is when people use one angle for all of their photos. I scroll through Instagram and see the same boring angles all the time. Changing the angle just a bit can make a world of a difference to a photo. For example, this photo below was taken sitting down on the field during a football game. This shot would not be possible if I was standing because I wouldn't be able to get the other players legs in the foreground. It also looks good for the photo to be level with the ground because it brings the viewer inside the scene. If the photo was taking standing up, it would look very different. The player would most likely be in focus, the grass would be in less of the photo and it wouldn't have the same effect of bringing the viewer into the scene. My personal favorite of all the camera angles to try is shooting above the subject. Getting up high on a ladder or even just holding the camera up can change an ordinary picture into something really cool....
It's not the easiest to take 360 photos on your phone. You shake around, don't move slow enough, mess up and have to start again multiple times. However, when you get that perfect shot it can be breathtaking. I decided to capture a landscape in this photo because there are many things to look at all around you. This is behind my house in Cocoa Beach. It's a view of the Indian River and the houses that are along it. bubble null
One of the cool parts about having a camera is being able to change the lens on it. A lot of people don't understand that the lens is what creates the photo, not the camera body itself. The lens is the most expensive part of the camera and is really important for taking great photos. However, I find out very recently that you can get different lenses for your iPhone or Android camera as well! This article talks a little bit about the best iPhone lenses you can get on the market. My favorite, that is featured in the article, is Kamerar Zoom. It is the cheapest option out there at only $25. It has two sets of lenses, a fisheye one and a telephoto one and then a macro one. They just slide over your iPhone lens when you want to use them and slide back to the side when you don't. Very easy to use and give such amazing effects to your photos.
