In this week’s episode, we discuss the best tool for improving composition in your landscape photos. How many times have you been on-location and captured an image that you're super happy with only to get home and suddenly wish you had composed your photo a bit differently? This happens to me all the time, but thankfully we have access to a very powerful tool called the Crop Tool! This handy little gadget not only allows you to remove unwanted distractions from the edges of your landscape photos, but it also provides you with a second opportunity to recompose your image. Rarely do I ever get a composition perfect while on-location, I usually end up having to crop just about everyone of my images. And, to take it a step further, Lightroom has something called Crop Grid Overlays that can help you determine a much more refined and focused composition.
In this video, I review the five Crop Grid Overlays that I use all the time while editing my landscape photos. These overlays are a great way to spark a bit of compositional creativity when the time comes to crop your landscape photos. For years the only thing I used the crop tool for was to clean up the edges of my images, which is fine, but there is certainly a lot more this could be used for.
I hope the next time you need to crop your images you cycle through some of the grid overlays mentioned in this video to see if there is a way to improve the composition in your landscape photos. This technique has really helped me over the years and hopefully it will help you as well!
If you enjoyed this video, please consider giving it a thumbs up and let me know what you think in the comments below - I guarantee I'll get back to ya.
Thanks for watching everyone!

Mark, Because I compose "loosely," I crop everything. Depending on how I'm gonna use the final image, I have different specific crops I employ. Ever use a Scale o Graph on a polaroid? Thank-You, Mike

When I first started, every video I watched said to fill the frame. So I started doing that. That worked great until....I got ready toy start printing my pictures to hang on the wall. When you shoot in 3:2 and you want to print an 8x10 you are going to have to crop something out and it might ruin your composition. Sup I learned to zoom out and not fill the frame. Now I can crop exactly where I need to go either post on social media or to print.

You’ve hit the nail on the head with being out there and taking photos in those situations. When you get back all is calm and so you have more time to analyse the composition. I didn’t realise that the crop tool had those options.

Great to see others using the crop tool as much as I do. My heavy use of it has made me question how good my field eye actually is. But sitting in a quiet room and revisiting a site via the image does give new insight into composition corrections. Thanks so much for reminding us of the crop tools value.

Light and Composition are the essentials of photography. And you are correct, one should use the Crop tool to refine their compositions. For my part, once I’ve crop my photos I continue on to highlight the elements that coincide with the chosen composition (where the lines meet) and then reduce the intensity (mainly light) of what tries to overcome it (corners and unwanted strong highlights). BTW your original photo of the road taking from above with your drone wasn’t bad - although you chose to crop it to eliminate the bottom part of the road which you thought distracting. Sometimes, a composition goes beyond what a photo shows. A composition can go beyond the initial frame - and this is a good example. We must not forget that it’s not the eye that sees but how our brain perceives vision. In this case, the brain was filling the blank by automatically completing the missing segment (of the road). Here a spiral composition that went beyond the frame would have shown that the focus point would have been the missing segment - which usually you want to avoid. But here, not only do you have an outward point (exit of the road) but your brain creates an entry one to come back within the frame (back to the road). Many painters have use that technique, mainly cutting down mountain roads in such a way for you to progress out of the frame to then return into it. Nice video!

Thus far two tuts under my belt with you Mark, and both enjoyable, educational and delivered at a even pace.. I would like to add one more element in the mix to the crop, and that's flopping it, as an old timer friend calls it, or as we call it today, flipping your image either horizontal or vertical depending on the image. Keeping in mind we read from left to right horizontally or from top down vertically..and then the next step, shaping your light to draw the viewer to the high light of the image ..

I'm happy to know I'm not alone in doing my best composition in post. I've found the best I can do in the field is changing perspective, so I like to shoot from other-than eyeball height -- in particular, low. It's amazing how much different a shot looks taken from the ground, and how much more foreground interest this perspective avails us. I too get the most from my 42MP. As much as you crop, you might consider upgrading to the 61MP mark iv. Thanks for another great video. I feel a lot better now about my needing to drop so much in post.

I never knew about using the rule of thirds beyond the typical grid pattern. Those were learned in my college courses back in the mid 80s. But, back then we didn’t have such incredible editing software as today so we had to make the shot with the grid in mind. Your video is enlightening. I’ve subscribed! Also, I like that you take notice of each comment, unlike many other videos I’ve watched from years ago. Kudos for that!

Thanks! It’s these sorts of tips that can lift photos to the next level. I also have the rule of thirds grid on in my viewfinder so I use it in field. Helps to get the horizon straight too.

Until now I used the rule of thirds only. With your illustration I learned something... I will check the other rules systematically in the future! So far I used the crop tool as you did before... very helpful video!

Mark great video! Human brains are quite adept at pattern recognition, so I think when we compose an image that's what we are doing. The crop tool basically let's you refine that composition to a more exacting point resulting in a more pleasing image. Loves the video! Keep up the good work!

This was a perfectly timed topic for me since I just started working more with crops after learning about the crop short cut from your video a few weeks ago. I’m going to play with it more today. May I also make a suggestion for a future topic? Matching the color on your screen to the color of a printer be it your home printer or a commercial printer. I’ve printed a few images that just didn’t have the same color on paper that I did on the screen. Thanks.

Mark, Another very well done video. You've provided some much information in a short time without overwhelming the viewer. Your use of examples is so very well done. The use of sound effects at the beginning and the cut away to the sunrise photo at the beginning is helps to keep interest in watching. I don't really need them since I watch your videos all the way through, but I thought they enhanced the video production. My cropping percentage, gonna guess it's in the 99%, and I'll be using the LR overlays more often.
