Assignment Number 8
In this assignment you'll take a bird's eye view of your everyday landscape. Look for bridges, overpasses, balconies and other perches from which to shoot the world. Shooting from above can add a new and refreshing dimension to scenes that might seem dull and every day from the vantage of street level. Notice how the shape of everything changes when seen from above.
