Cropping With Style

Before we will take a picture, we usually have arranged the matters of our camera like shutter speed, aperture, lens, white balance and also the object that we will shoot. But, even we already set the all things from camera, and while after we push the shutter button, we still get something that might be not perfect in the picture, for example a part of the object is not perfectly composed, or there is something bothering from background, etc.

What we see from the view finder of camera generally unlike the result of the photo after we push the shutter button. So, we need the editor application to repair and improve our photo.

Cropping technic is one of way to repair the composition of your photo, but don’t make it a habit in photography.

Be careful in close up photography or short distance object. When you crop the close up photo, still remain to well-balanced your photo. Tight Crop may be use in close up object, but don’t make your photo oppressed by its frame, remain its balanced.

When repairing the composition of your photo by cropping technic, you can place the object stronger, and become a point of interest that will focus people eyes in your photo. Things which less proporsional and bother the point of interest in your photo, can be crop to focus the main object of your photo.

Rule of thirds or triangle formula can be use in cropping your photo. But sometimes, we can also make something different from the rule of composition. Don’t affraid to come up difference. Do with your own style!
