In photography it is important to
look at your subject from a variety of different angles. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to snap your
subject. The first view you have of the
subject often isn’t the best view.
Taking time to walk around the
subject initially before ever using the camera is a good place to start. This provides
many completely different views of the subject allowing it to be photographed
from the most suitable angle/s. Only
the photographer can decide what is a good or bad angle. Things that can impact on this include light,
distracting backgrounds, colours, architectural features, people, animals,
vehicles etc.
I have used a photo essay style to
portray my blog subject, which is the magnificent Dunedin Railway Station in
the South Island of New Zealand. I have added interest to my
photo essay by also including some relevant facts about this building.
The view of the station from “front
on” was definitely not the most attractive one on this occasion, as there were
road works and signs in the foreground.
I immediately discarded this angle as being unsuitable and moved on to find
a couple of side view shots for a better angle. 
Other angles I have included are of the station platform with people and the Dunedin sign to add interest and a platform scene with a train. To provide more information on the magnificent detail of this station, I have also included a shot taken inside the booking hall.
