Composition Ideas
Creative techniques to elevate your Travel Photography work with the Sony a7C.
Leading Lines in Urban Alleys
Find a narrow, sun-drenched alleyway and use the lines of the buildings to draw the viewer’s eye toward a distant landmark. Set your aperture to f/11 for a deep depth of field and use the camera’s built-in level to keep your verticals perfectly straight. The high dynamic range of the a7C sensor will help preserve details in both the deep shadows and bright highlights.
