Rule of Thirds Assignment-Landscape
This is a picture I took last April of the Grand Canyon. The landscape looks a little crooked, but it seems like a good accident. I took a lot of the pictures at the same spot, but this one turned out the best
Ty, This is a nice photo, and a happy accident because you achieved the rule of thirds (your horizon line is in-line with the upper horizontal line). It's most efficient to frame a photo so that you get the right perspective and view that you want when you shoot the photo--that way you don't have to spend time editing. Editing can become time consuming especially if you take a lot of photos. With that said, if you do need to "rotate" or "straighten" a photo slightly to make it more pleasing to the eye you can with a number of different software programs. We will go into that later. We use to do this by cropping the photo after we developed it. Now it's as easy as pushing a button.
