photo of van

[photo568]

Hi

I just wondered if this photo was taken from too low down or not. Please suggest any improvements.

My Gear - Sony Cybershot DSCW130(point & shoot)

Lens focal length - 53mm.
Shutter speed - 1/40sec.
Apperture - F2.8.
ISO - 125.

PS: my camera doesn't have a manual or semi-manual mode.

I guess it just depends on what you're after. If you wanted a bugs eye view...you got it! You might try pulling back just a bit and maybe tilting the camera just a bit counter-clockwise. That will get more of the van in the frame, and tilting it gives the image a sort of motion effect. (they do it all the time in car commercials.)

Again, it depends on what you want...there isn't a too high or too low rule!

Depends what your intention of the shot was...
I think it's a bit too low, a few centimeters higher would be suitable so you don't see much of the underside of the van. Usually very low shots are done on jeeps to exemplify it's off-road ability, while other cars are shown a little bit higher up. But its great that you start taking your shots at a lower angle.. that's a great start. Another tip, try adding a little more of the side of the car into the shot. Again.. I don't know what your intention was. Overall I think you are going on the right way!
