TRY AN ODD ASPECT RATIO

With online galleries such as Flickr and 500px absolutely filled with fantastic imagery, it’s harder than ever to make your images stand out. So while we’ve been talking about the classic and traditional ways you can compose your shots, a non-standard aspect ratio can be a good way to give your images an edge to make them even more eye-catching. It’s worth playing with a square composition at times too, as this will work perfectly on social media channels like Instagram. We favour putting a few strips of electrical tape over the rear LCD screen protector to give you a square view in Live View, making the composition easier to visualise.
