There are few photos here. It's mostly discussion. You can post photos here, but I'm starting this thread in the hopes of sharing some ideas for techniques for getting better shots.
Also, this can be used for asking questions about technique.
I've noticed in recent months that I've definitely adopted a style that has me placing my subject dead center with the horizon bisecting both the subject and the shot itself.
Like these
For awhile, I really liked this, until I noticed that I really wanted to get shots with the main subject being shot with the background being entirely sky, no ground at all behind the subject. To do this, I've found I have to lie down completely, get as close as I can, and shoot with a super wide angle (10mm on my 10-22mm).
What techniques do you use to get the shots you do?
