Looking again at Composition

By admin · Comments (0) · Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

When you are out on location it is very easy to get caught up in the moment of taking photos and you forget to look at your composition and what is happening within the frame.

It is very easy to miss the unwanted items within your image, so you need to check you viewfinder and make sure there is nothing in your frame that will require you to remove it in Photoshop.

Make sure your horizon is straight, as it is very easy to tilt your image is you are not using a tripod, or if you are using a tripod, that it is level.  If needed, you can get a bubble level that slips onto your hotshoe to assist you getting a straight horizon.

And lastly, consider your depth of field, and the control you want with you foreground and background.  It is much easier to determine this in the field and select the aperture in the field, than it is to blur an image in Photoshop.

So just be aware of what is going in your image before you snap the shutter…..

If you need additional assistance, we offer Basic and Intermediate Camera workshops at the SCV Center for Photography.  See our workshop schedules for more information.
