Do you know what the nadir angle is? Stay and you will see that behind such a strange name lies something very simple and surprising.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black-and-white photography, or babies. On Fridays topics will be offered, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Thursday of the following week. On Thursday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and on Friday I propose a new theme so that you have all weekend to capture your images, etc.
Have you ever pulled straight but perpendicular to the ground? Well, it’s a nadir angle.
Perspective is a composive resource that can give you great satisfaction. Changing the angle can mean the difference between a boring photo and a spectacular photo.
This week I suggest you learn to look up, but not in any way, but from this specific perspective, the nadir angle, which is nothing more than what I just explained, you look up but with the camera perpendicular to the ground. article, I’ll clear this up for you in case you have any doubts. With this exercise what I hope is that you discover the power of perspective and sharpen your photographic eye. Did you already know that this was the case?

Good picture
Here is an example of how changing the perspective completely changes the result. Thanks for your input. That you appreciate them?
And this week’s featured photograph is “City of London” by Javi Elquenuncaviene. What I liked the most about this nadir angle is the composition. The play of lines is really powerful, they are all diagonals and, in what could be chaos, it is a surprising, attractive order, full of strength and tension. The cloudy sky blends perfectly with the tone of the buildings In addition, it has allowed a softer light and more in tune with the London scene. In short, good light, good composition and a superb photographic eye, the perfect ingredients for an excellent photo. !! Congratulations!!
