In this photo there are two main
ways we can achieve this:
- For the first option, the best one,
we should adjust the scene setup
before we take the shot. What
do I mean? Well, in this case, that
means that we should move a few
steps to the left so the centre of the
gap between the two buildings is
right in the middle of our scene.
Since this way of achieving a
symmetrical scene isn't always
an available option (for various
reasons), there's an alternative. - Cropping. When the photo is
already taken and we don't have
another one that is shot better, the
only way to achieve symetry is to
crop the photo according to our
reference line. That means that
we should crop the photo until our
imaginary symmetrical line gets to
the middle of our newly cropped
photo. See the photo explanation
on the right.
As we can see, the cropped photo below looks a lot more professional
and more visually appealing.Ready to take your photography to the next level? Get friendly yet informative tips and advice when you join Excio.
