Frog’s Eye View

Most frogs spend their life in the water or on the ground looking up to the sky. In photography the term frog’s eye view is used to describe the camera looking up to the subject from a low view point.

It exaggerates the height of the subject and makes the viewer feel small.

Standing close to a building looking up emphasizes the height.
