Alright, as you know I'm not an expert when it comes to photography, but I will try my best.
This is actually mostly for bird/wildlife photography, which I'm not sure if you're interested in, but I think it's important to know anyways. Let's say you are shooting a picture of a bird (I will include pictures in a comment below this one.) You want to shoot at eye level because it makes the viewer’s eye go immediately to it. If that didn’t explain it enough here is a paragraph for a website I found. “When you get eye level with an animal, you are in their world. This often serves to create the deepest connections between your viewer and your subject, making them feel more empathy and interest for the animal. So if your subject is up in a tree or flying around, you have to change your altitude or change your angle.” A couple weeks ago I took a picture of a finch, however I wasn’t happy with the results, it was far away, grainy, and not colorful. So I didn’t what any photography addicted mf would do and I went on the r/photocritique stream on Reddit and asked for people’s help on how to get rid of that stuff. I got answers to that kind of stuff but I got a ton of people telling me that I needed to be on level with the bird. It didn’t really *POP* out. So I took that to heart, look what I’m doing just two weeks later. (Pictures below)
