Compositional Trick #5-Croppping


Cropping is a trick that photographers do all the time, even if they don't realize it. Every time a photographer chooses to cut something out of his/her frame, before they snap the photo, that is in essence cropping. We also have learned tools on Photoshop that allow us to crop an image after we have taken it. When cropping in Photoshop it is possible to improve our composition or change it completely.

I change the structure to the image by cropping out part of the rail on the left side of the picture. I think this picture turned out better after being cropped than the original picture. There is two ways of using the crop tool. the first way we used was cutting a part of the picture which changed it. Then we cropped it to get overcrop which gives you a border around your picture.
