What's Your Point... Of View?

In my previous guest blog post on Life in a Venti Cup, I shared some interesting photography apps for the iPhone. In this post, I will share with you a very simple idea to make your photographs more interesting.

That idea is: Change your point of view.

Let's use the Eiffel Tower for an example. When I think of the Eiffel Tower, an image like the one below pops into my mind.

However, by simply changing your point of view, you can make your photographs more interesting, and intriguing. Below are some examples.

And I had to include this rather comical photo of the Eiffel Tower as a lamp:

So while you're out there capturing your Venti Life, try changing your point of view. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

What the beautiful people are saying...

Oh my gosh. those are gorgeous perspectives on the iconic Eiffel. My favorite by far is the one via = xAv =. Stunning. And I have a weakness for the BW shots. beautiful.

Side note: Funny how we never tire of squeezing everything between our fingers, right? LOL! Amazing post, Ryan!

Something to say, gorgeous?
