Creative Cropping Part 2

Use a foreground element when composing a landscape picture. The foreground element gives the viewer a reference point from which to view the main scene. This technique works when composing a picture of a person also. Makes the picture more personal.
A tall item on either left or right side of landscape is an example of a foreground element. You can crop part of it out or most of it, depending on the picture but still maintains a point of reference.

Before you press the shutter, scan the edges of the camera viewfinder to see if there are any distracting objects. These can't always be cropped out and can spoil a nicely composed picture.

Next week learn how to make water stand still or if moving, look like silk.
Happy picture taking.
