Down below are some of the best tips you could use to choose the best image for yours.
Click a lot, but select a few
While deciding which photos to choose, always keep in mind to take continuous shots. You cannot control the object, light, or scene that is naturally created, however, you can control your positioning and how many clicks to go for. Especially street photography needs to be taken with several different shots, otherwise, you cannot get the best photo finally.
Is this the best photo so far?
You can simply ask yourself this question in order to satisfy yourself. Luck plays a major role while taking the best shots. We often overestimate our capacity of taking photos with just 1 single click. 1 photo alone cannot create the best expectation of yours. Look at your photo and think to yourself, if this is the best click ever or the best photo you could use.
Small Thumbnail view
Always tend to look at your photos in thumbnail view, all of us usually check our photos in full screen this must be the case with you even. During editing your photos or selecting your photos make sure you check them in the small thumbnail size. Sometimes you might get the best photography, yet the background might be distracting. Henry Cartier Bressman (the famous photographer) often flips his photos upside down, while editing or selecting the best clicks. However, this cannot be done in the lightroom.
Trust your gut instinct
When you are in doubt, ditch yourself with your gut instinct. Your gut feeling always helps you to acknowledge your best. If you are going to look for the best shot, always go with what your heart says. If you have got the best shot, it should hit your gut. You should feel excited and emotional. If you have self-doubt or hesitation on whether you have got the right shot or not, it means you have not got the right shot. In case, if you have taken the right best click, make sure to hold onto it and ask for feedback from those who have a good taste in selection.
Find your soulmate
The famous photographer- Josef Koudelka, does is he usually trusts his inner 3rd, which literally means, he has two close friends who always selects the best photo out of the best. In this stage, the case of selected or finding the best photo is closed. Do not ask many people if your photo looks good, always have a minimum of two close friends who give you genuine comments.
Wrapping up
Taking the best photo can be a little complicated and finding the best click out your shots can be even more complicated. Always ask people you trust for feedback as it can be very helpful in selecting the best photograph. However, the first important rule is to trust yourself. You are the reflection of what you do. Your satisfaction is important, if you feel like you have taken a good click that makes you happy, it alone is enough. At the end of the day, your happiness matters. Never stop your innovation and creative thinking in photography.
