Another trick to introduce novelty in your photos is to use symmetry. If you look at professional photos, they usually apply this trick here and there. If you’re taking a picture of a mountain, try taking in the reflection of the mountain in water as well. Alternatively, you can just shoot the reflection of the mountain in the water itself – which produces another good perspective.

Other Ideas
Here are other ideas for taking unique shots of your subjects. Think about applying them the next time you’re out taking photos:
-
Shoot your subject up close. This is one of my favorites techniques, especially when shooting flowers, insects or products. Make use of the macro mode on your camera to achieve the best results.
-
Shoot a series of pictures and create a panorama. Many digital cameras allow you to stitch photos together in a panorama. What you do is snap many pictures of a wide scene and stitch them together in software – the result is a vast expanse of scenery that’s simply breathtaking to behold.
-
Shoot your subject via a mirror reflection. This is similar to using a subject’s reflection in water as a means to jazz up the photo. Instead of directly shooting a subject, shoot the subject via a mirror. It can create an interesting and more professional effect.
