Make your photos sing Photografi

Just as a composer has to arrange a piece of music, deciding which instruments will work together, which sounds flow and which clash, so it is that a photographer has to construct powerful images from the visual overload hitting them from all directions. To picture a scene through a photographer’s eyes is very different to just looking at it for what it is.

Ultimately, developing your post production cropping skills will help sharpen your in-camera framing – take time to experiment on one image to find out what crops please your eye the most. Then take that knowledge and experience out with you in the field and use it to crop in-camera, making use of every pixel on your sensor.
