There are lots of aspects that make a photograph good or interesting to look at. Of course, there are the obvious factors such as the target, the clarity, and the scenario. But similar to the rule of thirds the angle at which you shoot an image matter. The rule of thirds is a rule that states the image is more appealing when the target isn’t necessarily at the center of the photograph. For some reason, photos are slightly more captivating when the target is coming from a direction of the picture. For example, a leaf coming from the right top corner would be more interesting than a leaf centered around the middle of the photograph. In a very similar fashion, angles play a large role in the image. Depending on where you shoot the photo and how can mean a world of difference. The angle could make a small object look big. The angle could make a big object seem small. The angle could also affect how real the image looks and sometimes even make it look unreal. In this image for example is a building and a plane. The angle at which this was taken shows the plane centered directly on middle of the tower. The plane seems to be headed right for it. The angle also makes the building seem a lot smaller than it actually is. To some extent the building even looks fake. Sort of looks like a scenario you’d envision in a dream. It has this aspect to it that makes it feel as though they’re something small like little toy buildings and planes. What’s more the angle at which the building was taken a picture of blocks the sun, brightening the available background in a light blue with clouds here and there. Out of all the pictures this was most appealing. That is why I chose it.
