Composition

When post-processing photos in Aperture or Photoshop, I sometimes get into a conflict about whether to straighten an image or leave alone. This was one of those images where the subject was not straight, and the tripod and camera were.

When I took this photo, I distinctly remember using the level on the tripod, because when I composed it to appear level in the viewfinder, I could clearly see that the body of the camera was crooked on the tripod. In this case I definitely leveled the camera, but the subject was a bit crooked.

This Sunday morning I will be headed off to some training in Thailand. The hotel will be in Pattaya, so I have gone online and looked up a couple of sites around that area. I am still fretting about which camera to take, and how much equipment I really need. While in Thailand, I will not have much free time, since this will be a company-sonpsored training event, the best shots I will get will probably be sunsets and night lights. So to make sure I get some sightseeing in, I have downloaded a small list of places around the Pattaya area that I think may be photogenic, and make sure to visit those on the first day when I arrive.
