Want to take more interesting photos? A simple trick is to move.
Most of the time, we see the world from one of two positions: sitting or standing.
When we are taking photos, it's very easy to do the same, and take photos from a standing or sitting position... and more often than not, we take photos while we are standing.
However, if you want more interesting photos, try getting as far above or beneath your subject as possible.
When there's a balcony, a ladder, or a stone wall.. use them to gain height for your photo.
If there's nothing to stand on, try holding your camera high above your
head and aiming it. Shoot several shots and toss the ones that aren't
framed well (hey, they're just digital images, right?). With some
practice, you can get pretty good at aiming your camera from over your
head.
Getting low can have a similar effect. Lay down or kneel. The lower the better. Aim up at your subject and frame your shots.
Whether you get above or beneath your subject, you'll notice that your
photos are a lot more interesting than shot at the "normal" height.
