Re: Use a Low Camera Angle for Landscape PhotographyNothing new, but a technique that's often overlooked. Be careful though, don't be so conscious of the foreground that you blow the rest of the composition. The bottom two photos in the article are examples of this, especially the one on the very bottom. The tree stumps in the foreground effectively became the subject. Not only do the stumps feel like a barrier preventing you from entering the photo, but the size and position make them the subject (remember the rule of thirds, placing at object at the intersection of the thirds will make it feel more important). The photo in the middle has nice colors, but what is the subject? Is it the setting sun on the left? The snow bank on the lower right? Or, the distant hills on the upper right? Lighter objects attract the eye. But, I find myself seeing the snow on the lower right as much or more than the sun on the left. That makes the lines the dominant influence in this photo. Lines will lead the viewers eye in the direction of the lines. In this case, leading you to the distant hills on the upper right away from the sunset.
Re: Use a Low Camera Angle for Landscape PhotographyI agree and like the low angles but what ever is in the forefront becomes the subject and the landscape just becomes a beautiful backdrop. The shot with the tree stumps should have the tree stumps removed from the photo to focus on the landscape.

Re: Use a Low Camera Angle for Landscape PhotographyIn the middle photo, I think the photographer is trying to show the contrast of snow and sunshine.
In the third photo, I think he is trying to show the tree stumps as a product of the big city in the background. I do, however, agree that the cityscape without the stumps and reframed would be a more beautiful photo.
Re: Use a Low Camera Angle for Landscape PhotographyI like seeing perspective change also in video shooting.
It "works" also in reflections, bidimensional landscapes as in wall paints, interiors. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5My_Kpbae1U[/youtube]
