5 feet.

Uncle Fred takes every picture from exactly 5 feet above the ground.

Don’t! Look for unusual viewpoints. Up, sideways, or like here, down:

And unusual viewpoints can include diagonals:

Or they can mean “table-top level”:

So avoid shooting everything with the straight and narrow Uncle Fed horizontal viewpoints!

And, um… recognise the Rule of Thirds in there, anyone?

  1. Lol……what do you have against Uncle Fred? For the last image, would you consider this a good image compositionally? I am thinking that the structure below his left elbow could be a bit distracting, along with the building in the middle left. My question is based purely on composition here.
