Composition - Angles



Angles in Uttoxeter

I did a round trip around Uttoxeter which lead me straight up to the church that I had first started taking pictures of when I arrived an hour or so earlier.   I took more pictures angling the camera up high as I liked the effect it gave. I was standing right next to the old Uttoxeter Advertiser building - paint peeling off and and an old sign hanging off the side of it.    I photographed the sign trying also to get the painted signed above the old building included which had paint peeling off.  I moved the camera around, aiming it high and the church tower became included in the picture.   I feel this is an effective composition showing high angles.   It is not a good example of exposure as I feel the church and sky are over exposed.  The depth of field is fairly shallow with the foreground sign in focus and as your eye travels up the red brick building the bricks are less in focus.  The camera settings were: shutter speed 1/30 as the light was not good as I was in an unlit ; aperture 4.5; ISO 400; 18mm focal length to get as much in of the angle as I could.
