Our Best Shot
but not good enough
In an ideal world, we would always be able to compose our images perfectly. We wouldn't discover a tree or lamp-post mysteriously 'growing on someone's head' in our holiday photos and we would be able to zoom in close enough to see people or objects in detail. Sometimes, though, we just have to take the best shot we can e.g perhaps you wanted to remember the male tortoises scuffling over the female at the zoo.
Please note that the resolution of these photos is quite low. I took them several years ago, at Linton Zoo, on a low-res digital camera.
What Story Are You Trying to Tell?
Having the ability to edit your own images can help you to improve them.
Here we get a much better idea of what's going on. The female is scurrying away while the males are occupied!
Ninja Tortoises?
But if you're only interested in the scuffle, you can crop even closer.
Cropping is a skill, but it's easier to get right if you first make a decision on which story you are trying to tell with your image.
Some problems you may encounter
2) Objects in the wrong place that can't be cropped out - sometimes we have to use additional techniques like removing blemishes by painting or cloning.
3) Images tilted at strange angles - we may have to straighten the image before we crop.
