Street photography is one of the trickiest genres of photography to do. But at the same time, it offers a lot of room for experimentation. So, it’s worth mentioning right away that you don’t need a special camera to start doing street photography. Frankly speaking, you can even shoot with your smartphone – there’s a decent amount of street photographers that shoot exclusively with a smartphone. However, you need to keep in mind that a digital camera will always give you more flexibility and produce better images than a smartphone.
Just a few years ago, watermarks were mostly used by photographers and artists. As you may know, the main purpose of watermarks is to protect images from unauthorized use and copyright infringement. But as the popularity of social media platforms and various web services keeps growing, more and more people see the benefits of this tool. These days content creators and business owners, who promote their businesses online, utilize watermarks quite often. It may come as a surprise, but watermarks are more than a security tool.
The majority of people tend to think that if they need to resize an image in Photoshop without quality loss, they can only make it smaller. Reducing the size of an image is, indeed, easier, because all Photoshop needs to do is to remove a handful of pixels. This process is usually careful and precise, which is why the image quality is barely affected.
Images are often cropped to improve composition. Generally speaking, only one compositional technique will work perfectly for a circular image – the central composition. It means that you should place your main subject in the center because that’s where the audience will look first. When you crop into a circle, it’s even easier to remove any visual noise and distractions because there won’t be any corners where potential distractions can sneak into.
Documents are often stored and shared in the PDF format because of its benefits. Whatever content you put in it – be it text or different types of images – it will be of excellent quality and look sharp and great. PDFs are also perfect for printing. But most importantly, this format is often chosen precisely because it is secure. It is insanely easy to make any edits in a Word document. PDFs, on the other hand, tend to be quite challenging to edit. In addition to this, it is possible to make your PDF even more secure.
