Elevated Views are when we raise the camera significantly above normal eye level by mounting the camera on a long pole or mast. (We have one that will reach nearly 20ft.) On a level lot, Elevated Views can simulate a low-flying drone, giving us much better camera angles on things like pools and patios that don’t show well from ground level. They are also very useful for getting above fences and bushes that would otherwise block a view. In addition, Elevated Views enable us to get the camera up on the level of the house even though the yard slopes down sharply, thus avoiding the looking-up-at-the-house perspective.
