Default Off road picture taking

I want to get some pointers on how to take better off roading pics. I cant seem to get a good perspective on steep inclines or side slopes. I ahve tries to get a tree or person in there with some success, but they never look as imposing as they actually are. Any good photographers out there?

I love the "frog perspective". Takin' a pic from close to the ground, aimin' up. Got alot of nice pics like that. And, I also like to have some trees / part of bush kinda blockin' the view. Just my two cents
Check out my "off road" pics on www.hummertruckworld.com/Frenzy

Alan, you'll never get the perspective you want with a 2d camera. No one will get it.:shrug:

I like this pic, but it doesn't show anything special at all;

Again, nothing overly special, but the pic came out well;

Little V's and the like can add some interest to a pic;

Side perspectives can help in really shoiwng the exact nature of the obstacle;

Sometimes some interaction with people helps liven up an otherwise boring pic;

Othertimes showing more of the obstacle than is reuired helps in giveing the whole picture;
[IMG]http://www.*******club.com/events/moab2005/images/015.jpg[/IMG]

I didn't take any of the above pics, and the photographic quality of them may not be the highest, but I think they show what the vehicle was doing quite well, and will hopefully give you some ideas.

GREAT PHOTO CHOPPING
