The sense of an imminent threat

But this little cat had simply sat in front of the wheel of a parked car, outside the fire station in Strumica, some week ago. (So no cats were harmed during shooting :-)

Photo Tips 5 of a 100. Composition - go down to the subject's level.

It is said that 90% of all photos taken, are from an upright and straight forward angle. In many cases, with a boring outcome. Try different angles and forget all that old controllers: "You can not shoot downwards, upwards" - or you cant do this or that. This image got the whole story and drama because of the angle. Sometimes it works the one, sometimes the other. Sometimes it even works to shoot standing up and straight forward. But with small motifs like pets and children, or even smaller like flowers or small animals/insects, it is a good idea to go down with the camera, while observing what happens to the background. Move the camera with small movements until the background looks good, without distracting elements. As for motives that risk move, it may be helpful to press the button several times, while you are getting in position for that perfect angle, then you will at least have some picture - if the subject would have the bad manner to run away, before you are done.
