This kind of composition generally <strong>create discomfort in the eyes of the viewer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The planet we live on is round and even when the visible space doesn&#8217;t appear round to us, it&#8217;s not perfectly straight either. Mountains, rocks, trees and various other articles make it rough and bumpy, but we are not talking about eliminating them. <strong>Our aim to make those trees and mountains appear going straight up in the sky and not at an angle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This rule is <strong>extremely simple to implement<\/strong> and it&#8217;s better to get it done right in the camera itself, that\u00a0will save you the hassle of doing the same in the post production. Also proper implementation of this rule is gonna <strong>save your pictures from unnecessary criticism on the grounds of composition.<\/strong> So <strong>use that bubble level<\/strong> on your tripod or <strong>you can use the inbuilt virtual horizon<\/strong>\u00a0available in most Dslr&#8217;s these days and make your pictures look that much more perfect and magnificent.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this incredible photograph ?
