ABSTRACT
Framing your shots is very simple to do, as long as you stop for a moment and think about the composition within the viewfinder. The aspect ratio of an image is the relationship between the width and the height of the image, expressed as a simple proportion. The aspect ratio of the image-capture chips in all DSLRs is 3:2, but there are many other possible aspect ratios for other types of cameras, with 4:3 and 16:9 becoming more popular as consumer equipment is now being designed to work with wide-screen televisions and projectors. What is important is that we see a rectangle that is wider than it is taller when we are shooting in landscape mode, or a rectangle that is taller than it is wider when shooting in portrait mode.
