Posted by Oculus.Affectus.Foto 6. ALWAYS find a horizon line when you're editing the image. The image I'm attaching has an odd angle, but the corner of the room is perfectly in balance. A lot of tripods have ways of helping with this, if your camera doesn't. I still crop it in post to make sure. |
Posted by Oculus.Affectus.Foto Duly noted, and much appreciated. Still learning! |

Posted by blackhawk Not sure if you meant when framing as opposed to post editing a shot. If the image isn't square off when it's shot, no amount of cropping can restore it. Unless you are shooting a shot for artist effect/impact, most shots are best squared off. |
Posted by flySparro Yeah documentary style shots start to fall down when they’re canted or showing weird perspective lines, haha. |
Shooting with wide lenses frequently (14mm) I do a lot of tilting to reveal things above/below, so straight vertical lines aren’t as practical or even achievable as they would be on a ‘normal’ lens (35-50mm or longer) |
Posted by flySparro Me too, friend! Me too. I'm stoked that you didn't take offence to my pretty ruthless evaluation of what is / what appears level... haha. ;) +1 like for you. |
Posted by Oculus.Affectus.Foto It's pretty funny seeing people get butt-hurt here, not only when they're ASKING for critiques, but even when they're not. As I said, I was never taught ANYTHING about photography. I started because my ex-wife was a psycho and thought she'd tell a really wealthy client of hers that I was a f*cking wedding photographer! Rather than letting her drown, I went out and got a Rebel T6 because it was cheap, and did the best I could... Worst wedding pictures in the history of ever... BUT, after the divorce, I took up the old hobby of abandoned buildings and took the camera along. I've had way too much caffeine... Sorry I'm typing so much... THE POINT I'm racing to make is that brutal honesty is the best, in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, not many have the open mind to accept it and put it to use. Because I'm so new to this community, I'm biting my tongue A LOT in other posts. I don't know if I'm allowed to be blatantly honest and up front with other noobs? Maybe I should read about that in the forum. Seriously, because of what you said above, AND what blackhawk had noted in my other post, I THINK I took some GREAT shots today. I'll have to make a "before and after ACCEPTING criticism" post with pics to prove it. |
