In this snapshot, we’ve left an even border around the head and upper body of the child. It makes for a nicely framed shot although the background is a little distracting.

For this shot, we moved in closer to fill the viewfinder with the child’s head. There is almost no border around the photo, yielding a more dramatic view of the child.

This beautiful historic building, adorned with bright gold trim sits in the center of Brussels. This photo shows the structure’s intricate detail.

To add a different twist, I placed the camera close to the ground so that the cobblestones become part of an added perspective.

Out in the wilderness with beauty all around, it’s sometimes hard to decide on how best to take that photo.

What is going to look better - horizontal or vertical? Well don’t fret, just go ahead and try both ways and then make your decision afterwards.

I prefer the vertical because it emphasizes the depth of the scene.

But since there is no right or wrong, you decide.
