One of my favourite places to take pictures is on the floor. Honestly, this isn't a joke.
Where do most people take pictures from? Eye level, standing up, is the correct answer. Most of the time this is the best angle but getting low (or high up) can give the picture a much better perspective and more drama to the image.
Here are some examples of getting the low down.

| Swans on Round Pond, Kensington Gardens, London |
 |
| The old banked track, Monza |
 |
| A stream in the Lake District |
 |
| Bassenthwaite Lake, Lake District |
All of these images were taken by laying on the ground. By filling the foreground with the subject the eye is led into the image. If you don't fancy laying down put the camera on the ground and use the view screen to line the shot up. This method is a bit more hit and miss but it still works.
