Up High, Down Low...gaining a different perspective

ian408

Each of us looks for an angle to give our photographs something that
differentiates from anothers work. These two common accessories will
help you gain a different perspective.

When shooting sports from a low position, a set of knee pads helps save
the knees from the abuse of all that up and down. You can wear them and
stand or drop to your knees when the situation demands it and with relative
comfort. Something like this would do the trick.
You can find knee pads at most home supply stores.

Want to get everyone in the shot or maybe just get a couple of feet
higher up? Try using a small ladder. Of course you could go with the
ubber height but then you'd have to carry it Better yet, take a look at
this 2-in-1 ladder. It doubles as a hand cart.

Getting down low or up high gives you a unique perspective. One that'll
separate your shots from everyone else.

It is not much convenient to travel with a ladder !
The second shot was done with the tripod sustained by its feet. (you will understand).
It is not perfect by it was a try.
