Well, perhaps. What I mean in my tip of the day here is that viewpoint makes a difference. Avoid being “Uncle Fred” and always shooting from exactly 5.5 feet above the ground.
Look what a difference this makes. From this shot:

An entirely different feel. It is more like the road surrounds you; a much more three-dimensional view.
So whether it is up, down, unusually close, or rotated: do try to use less usual viewpoints for a more lively look to your images.
Michael,
I have only recently bought myself a decent camera and have started to really get into my photography. I stumbled accross your site yesterday and spent the next four hours going through it. Its now bookmarked and I intend to come back daily. Thanks for your tips and advice. Regards Steve
p.s Im a Police Officer from Manchester, England and I think I may be posting much more on here soon. Thanks again.
Fabulous, Steve. I grew up in the UK and it is a pleasure to be able to help you! Questions always welcome btw.
