Aerial photography provides us with a completely different perspective regarding various places and buildings. It also allows us to view far locations that are otherwise difficult if not impossible to get to. Shooting from top of tall buildings is sufficient for quality low altitude aerial photography.

It's always important to frame and compose the picture properly as you are taking it. Vertical components in the picture must align to the frame. Compose the subject so that vertical objects appear vertical in the final product. This means vertical references, like edges of buildings, trees, and flag-poles must be parallel to the vertical edge of the photo. Besides that, watch out for aesthetic balance and using the horizon as horizontal reference. I also tried taking shots from various directions and various angles.

Aerial photos are good candidate photos for tilt-shift photography as well (Miniature Effect). It’s taking a photograph of a real-world scene and making it look like a miniature scene. This function is included in the Canon S95 and relatively easy to implement.
