One of the benefits of having a smartphone with a camera is being able to take lots of photos and instantly share those pictures with family and friends. The original photo I have chosen is one that my mom shared with me from a trip she took several years ago to the North Carolina and South Carolina coast, near Myrtle Beach. While most people might think of the Myrtle Beach area as a party scene, the surrounding little coastal towns are much quieter, especially in January. She snapped several photos that afternoon of boats coming up the river, one by one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original picture needed several corrections. First, the boat that is moving through the water appears too far away to be an effective focus, and the big white boat docked on the left, as well as the poles and other dock structure in the right foreground, are distracting from the calm water and the marsh grasses on the other side of the river. Also, the moving boat is almost centered in the original image, so it doesn\u2019t follow the rule of thirds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to create the derivative image, I used the cropping tool in Photopea to remove the distractions from the foreground. Then I moved the image around so the little boat is near the bottom third and on the left side. This not only changes the focus on the boat to follow the rule of thirds, but it also allows room for the boat to move through the water as it heads home at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n
