Changing the angle of vision or perspective from which we observe the world is always rewarding, surprising and even therapeutic. Something similar happens in photography, by changing the angle of shooting the image can take a radical turn in terms of attractiveness and interest. That's why today I want to show you the least used angle, the one that sometimes costs us the most. I'm going to keep you from thinking how to climb higher. Do you accept this challenge? The following photographs that you are going to see are shot from a zenith angle . This is from above, but not in any way, but at an angle perpendicular to the ground or the motif, from top to bottom. With the examples you will understand it much better. You will see that some of the images I show you are taken from an airplane, plane or similar. It is true that not everyone has this opportunity, but if you ever have it, in a plane, a hot air balloon, a cable car ... take advantage of it !!! Anyway, it is not necessary to climb soo high to achieve an interesting zenith angle. You will also check it with these inspiring photographs.

The stairs are a wonderful opportunity to shoot from the zenith angle. Square, rectangular or spiral, it doesn't matter, they are equally impressive. Do you have a ladder nearby? Well, you're up to the top floor!THE CITY
When you walk through the city you will surely look around and even up, but how many times do you look down? Beyond your feet, I mean, have you tried climbing the tallest building, a bridge or a wall? You can even use the window of your house Try it is a fantastic photographic exercise!SHADES

As I told you at the beginning, you don't have to get on a plane or the Empire State to shoot in the zenith. Moreover, it is not necessary to leave the house. Many times we forget the beauty of everyday objects and take refuge in the lack of opportunities to take the camera for a walk when we have great opportunities in front of our noses. You just have to know where to look fromGASTRONOMY
