HIGH ANGLE

A high angle is when you shoot from high up or on a high platform looking down across the landscape. This traffic trail shot here is a fantastic example of this; taken from a path that crossed over a busy road, you get a high angle of the roads trailing off into the distant horizon. There’s not always a convenient high-up platform to do this, but be on the lookout for raised footpaths and buildings you can shoot from that will give you a higher perspective, or even fire up a drone to get aerial shots from the skies.
