Sometimes, a straight on photo of a subject just feels flat and uninteresting. Want an easy way to make it have a little more tension and action? Tilt your camera and photograph at an angle! What I mean by this is that you should try taking photos where the subject moves from corner to corner, instead of side to side.

Take for instance the above photo by Ten Directions. The wings of the bird go from bottom-left to top-right, which creates tension in the image and makes it much more pleasing to the eye. He very well could have taken the photo with the wings left to right, but it would not have been nearly as interesting.

This is a great trick that can be used on just about any subject. Try it out, you’ll surprised what photos may result!
