In this week’s episode, we discuss the best tool for improving composition in your landscape photos. How many times have you been on-location and captured an image that you're super happy with only to get home and suddenly wish you had composed your photo a bit differently? This happens to me all the time, but thankfully we have access to a very powerful tool called the Crop Tool! This handy little gadget not only allows you to remove unwanted distractions from the edges of your landscape photos, but it also provides you with a second opportunity to recompose your image. Rarely do I ever get a composition perfect while on-location, I usually end up having to crop just about everyone of my images. And, to take it a step further, Lightroom has something called Crop Grid Overlays that can help you determine a much more refined and focused composition.
In this video, I review the five Crop Grid Overlays that I use all the time while editing my landscape photos. These overlays are a great way to spark a bit of compositional creativity when the time comes to crop your landscape photos. For years the only thing I used the crop tool for was to clean up the edges of my images, which is fine, but there is certainly a lot more this could be used for.
I hope the next time you need to crop your images you cycle through some of the grid overlays mentioned in this video to see if there is a way to improve the composition in your landscape photos. This technique has really helped me over the years and hopefully it will help you as well!
