For better aesthetical effects on exterior scenery pictures, you might want to change the ratio of the frame to 2*3.

Alright. I'll try that in the future :)

Personally when it comes to exterior shots I go for wider shots than 3x2. I'm talking like 3x1, 2x1, or 16x9. Mostly I like those wider shots because I feel they isolate the subject most for exteriors.

Here's a quick and sloppy little crop at 2x1 I did of your picture. Unfortunately I'm away from my PC ATM so a better crop couldn't happen but I think it shows what I'm trying to say.

Of course lately I've been really falling in love with 1x1 images but that's a whole other ball pit.

Here's a 1x1 edit if you're curious. Also a bit haphazard due to being on my phone but I think I got the framing pretty close.

Edit: Keep up the good work and remember: the best camera is the one you have on you when you want to take pictures.

Alright. I'll try some of those ratios in later shots. I do like 1x1 because it makes any picture look like an album cover lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

NGL that's another reason I really like 1x1.

Finally got back to my PC so I could do some fun editing

BTW would you be alright if I share this edit in my online album (DeviantArt page) provided I credit you as the original source for the non-edited image and provide a link here?

Edit: Slight clarification on where I'd share it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't mind that! If you do that, could you link it here so I can look at it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, here's a link to my DeviantArt page specifically the upload of this image.

I'm still slowly working through my backlog of pictures to share there so there's not a whole lot there currently.
