Thank you! I guess it's just something that I've learned over time. I shoot a lot of sports so I kind of had to get used to making sure that my shots were level while there was a lot of action happening at the same time. These were taken while I was just strolling along the street so I had much more time to make sure that everything was lined up correctly. With that said, they still didn't come out 100% straight. Without a tripod, everything will be a few degrees off. I straightened them in PS but they weren't off so much that it would be noticeable at first glance.Originally Posted by Cobra Kai
^ I really like the whole set but more specifically the second and last shot. Good job.
P.s. How do you guys get your shots so level without a tripod? Is there a certain technique to it or is it just something that gets learned after awhile?
Can you post pre-edits and post edits? I want to see the difference. Thanks! Big fan of your sports photos too, keep up the good work.Originally Posted by NayokoChan

Thank you! And here are the OGs. Okay so looking at them now, they were definitely off at first glanceOriginally Posted by Luong1209

No problem. I use the Crop Tool. I have CS4 so I don't have the option of seeing the grid while using the crop tool. But if you have CS5, there should be an option on the top of the toolbar that has a drop down menu that lets you select "Grid", "Rule of Thirds" or "None". Since I have CS4, I don't have "Grid" or "Rule of Thirds". So what I normally do is align either the top line or one of the side lines of the crop area to a line that's already in the photo. For example, in the kitchen photo, I used the top of the display wall to align the crop area. While using the crop tool, you're also able to rotate the image. There are links below to a step-by-step walkthrough. But that's only because I'm not entirely sure if this mini block of text made any sense. I hope this helps!Originally Posted by Luong1209
NayokoChan - Thanks for the comparison.
Would you mind telling me how you straightened the photo out on photoshop?
I don't know of any cameras that do this but I do know that for any sort of macro photography, you would need a macro lens. Which means that you would probably need a DSLR...However, the interwebz provided me with this lovely guide that should be a bit more helpful.Originally Posted by PoPcoRN Playa 24
Got a question for you camera buffs.
My sister has recently started a handmade jewelry company. I'd like to help her out by making her a lightbox and getting her a camera.
I am looking for a camera which basically excels in crisp macro shots but is not a DSLR. What cameras would you guys recommend?
