A simple technique that I like to use from time to time is taking photos with my camera raised on top of a monopod. Usually, monopods are used to stabilize a camera at eye level, but this technique, coupled with a wide-angle lens can give some interesting results.
This technique is particularly useful if you're in a crowd of people and either looking to see over the crowd, or just wanting to give a sense of depth to the photo.
In the photo above, I was able to see this guy on a unicycle escape from a straitjacket.
One tip is to add some subjects to the foreground of the photo to add more depth and interest.
These photos were all taken with a 6ft. monopod, using a wired trigger to activate the focus and shutter. To get really adventurous, try adding some height with a
painter's pole and a
Pole Pixie!
The photos above were taken at this year's
Deep Ellum Arts Festival in Dallas, TX.
