In the picture
- Left lighthouse lantern: a low viewpoint makes the tower rise steeply above the horizon.
- Center lighthouse door: an eye-level viewpoint places the tower level with the horizon.
- Right lighthouse base: a high viewpoint makes the tower appear small against the water.
Examples
- A photo of a friend taken from the floor can make them look tall.
- A photo from a balcony can make a street below look tiny.
Key takeaways
- Low angles tend to make a subject look more powerful.
