High angle

The problem with high angles when the subject is wearing a long coat is that they may end up looking like diddymen.This week, I have been experimenting with high angles, and here is the dreadful result. It's not as easy as it seems, folks. You need to get some distance between you and the subject, ideally hopping on one of those strange monopod step things that look like upturned buckets.

Take extreme care not to be seen. Security guards guard these things, and also those little metal stairs that lead nowhere that seem to be lying around in supermarkets. The purpose of the stairs is, of course to get high angle shots, but art of the game involves not being seen by security guards, shelf stackers, or store managers. They get very possessive over their things.

This is a bad entry. Very unflattering.

Composition:  The high angle is good, but not good enough to negate the fact that it looks like Tixi has no legs. I mean, she is short, but not that short. She's short tempered too. Good job she doesn't read this blog, eh? 
Pose: I was trying to catch the 'pidgeon toes of shoppingdom', as I call them, and I have almost captured it, but not totally successfully. I shall try for close ups next. 
