Perfect Composition : FAKER!!!

Working with animals is pretty hard even if they are your pets! Its hard to get them to sit still and stay in one place while you focus and take those pictures (unless their cats)


Achieving a composition like this one would take an extremely LONG time to possition all the dogs or even be able to get the dogs to stand still while all in frame at once. Luckily there are cheats...







You'll need a Tripod for this one. And it simply involves waiting for the right moment and when each dog walks into the spot you want it, then snap the picture.. Edit it and cut out the doggies so they all appear to be in the frame at once. 

It isn't a very hard process, but some people forget this technique when trying to achieve that perfect composition. 

(those tiny dogs in the corner just would not sit still, so I left the camera on video mode and placed those dogs there myself) 



This photo is done the same way as the one above
the patterns in the couch make is easier to do a sloppy job! yay

If you're having trouble composing a perfect shot with moving subjects and you happen to have a 
tripod or a table to set your camera on, just remember this technique. 

Cause like 70% of the things on the internet are doctored anyways right?

Light Rays Tutorial


Cheap and easy way to add light rays to any photograph in almost ANY photo-editor
(also works for video) 



STEP 1: Create basic shape for the light ray
beautiful.... 
STEP 2: Motion Blur

I see a face...
STEP 3: Layer it 
adding multiple copies of the same ray over and over in different spots of the picture to get a nice look... (change the blending mode to "add" so make the black go away...) 

this is a darker look to emphasize the rays

more washed out

Without the picture below this is what my rays ended up looking like...

I added brighter spots at the bottom to make the light more believable and added some dust particles to give a more dreamy, fantasy look... 


I did not take this picture... 


I think one of the most important parts of adding anything to a photography, is simply, matching the color...
