technique essay

In digital photography there are steps you need to know on getting straight images and perfect lines when you are going to take a picture and my 3 techniques will help you get the perfect shot.

My first technique on how to get the perfect shot is some people viewing the photo will not notice this mistake but others will and does spoil the image the same principal applies to many other types of photographers. The kinds of photography is other crooked lines and another common type is shots of building which in most cases are built to be level and have lots of straight lines.

My second technique on how to get the perfect shot it is often while it is difficult to get all the lines perfect straight when taking a shot of a building looking up you’ll find unless you’re perfectly straight on and at a height that is even with the middle of the building that your vertical lines will taper towards the top this shot is obviously off line if you look at how the bottom of the painting slopes towards the right in comparison to the bottom edge of the view finder.

My last technique on how to get the perfect shot is while the tapering effect would have remained the image would have been vastly improved with the camera straightened slightly. So the rule of thumb unless your going for real effect don’t just consider the horizon but also look at other horizontal lines and the vertical lines.

In conclusion if you follow these 3 techniques you will be a great photographer and it will make taking pictures easier.
