Shutter Mike Photography

When you head out to photograph one key thing you want to keep in mind is that the best photo opportunities are not always right in front of you.  Pay attention to all of your surroundings.  Look down, look up, change perspectives, get up high, get down low.  The everyday street level view can be good at times, but when you get that shot from a perspective most people never think of or never pay attention to you are showing the world how you see and interpret it through your lens.

A recent walk around downtown Phoenix with my camera pointed up resulted in some perspectives I might not otherwise see had I stuck with only what was immediately around me.
