What is Chromatic Aberration And How To Reduce It

Chromatic Aberration also commonly known as color fringing, is the unwanted color (red/cyan, blue/yellow, green/magenta) that appears around your image's high contrast edges.

There are ways to minimize this effect and one of the cheaper ways is by using photo-editing softwares. If not, many high quality lenses like ED(Extra-low dispersion) lenses from Nikon or UD(Ultra-low dispersion) lenses from Canon can do the job. But these lenses may not come cheap.

Well at least you are assured with good qulity images for the price you paid for.

Tilt Your Camera For More Dramatic Effects

There are no such thing as boring photographs as long as you know how to input some creativity into them. Sometimes, you can tilt your camera a little to produce a more dramatic effect as show in the photographs below.

The photographs will look "normal" if taken with a level horizon. But wouldn't the results be more interesting by just tilting your camera when shooting?

*This technique may not be suitable if you are taking landscape.

Making Use of Reflections

You can have more attractive and eye-catching photographs by shooting in an unconventional way, i.e making use of reflections. Instead of shooting straight on at your subject, you may wish to lookout for reflective surfaces like pubble of water, mirror, glass and etc.

Looking at objects from a different angle and persepctive will make your photograph standout and unique. Grab your camera now and start shooting!
