Using Leading Lines in Your Shot

Jim Zuckerman
Duration:   12  mins

Description

What are leading lines in photographic composition? World-renowned photographer Jim Zuckerman shows you the technique as he composes a lighthouse image in coastal Maine.

Jim starts out with a wide-angle lens, his composition following the fence line as it leads your eye to the lighthouse. For optimum resolution, he recommends shooting in RAW format to protect the highlights and to allow you to manipulate the colors and exposure in post-production. He shows you how to select the correct lens aperture and shutter speed and then takes you through the process of creating an HDR image.

Travel to Maine with pro shooter Jim Zuckerman, who shows you the importance of leading lines in your compositions.
