Leading lines is a very powerful way of making a composition. It will draw the viewer’s eye where you want it in the image. Usually, the effect is stronger if you use a wide-angle lens. In the video, I also talk about if there is a difference between a straight leading line or a path? What about the subject? Is a subject important in the end of the lines?

Submitting an image to my feedback session you will grant me the right to show and critic the image during the Live Stream. If you submit an image it does not mean that it will be given feedback. I try to give critic to everyone, but if there are a lot of images I will the best ones. Also if the subject is inappropriate I will not show the image or give feedback. All images and other info will be deleted after the Live Stream.
This is important: Make sure that you have all the rights to the image you submit.

Getting sharp images is most likely your goal. it is not easy sometimes, but with these few tips, it will a lot easier.
Modern cameras have a variety of different focus modes. Choosing the right focusing mode will help a lot. The normal focusing mode for everyday photography is S-AF, single autofocus. Then the camera will focus when you press the shutter button (or use the back focus button) and the camera will focus. This works best if the subject is not moving.
S-AF will stay on the distance that it was when pressing the shutter button. If your subject is moving it will out of focus. Using C-AF or AF Tracking the camera will follow the subject and try to keep it in focus. This depends on how good your camera is in continuous autofocus and tracking.
We usually want to focus on the eye of a person in portraits. Sometimes it can be a bit hard and take our attention away from the model. With Face and Eye priority, we do not need to worry about focusing. We can have our full attention on the model. This will make your photography a lot easier and better. One of the most important things in portraiture is the connection with the photographer and the model.
