Unleashed Edit: Loki's Lakeside Horizon Shift

View All Edits

This shot of Loki was taken on a very frosty winters morning and the lakeside location proved difficult to get the perfect angle. This meant Loki’s head/eyes ended up intersecting with the horizon.

So what’s the best way to deal with that after the shot has been taken? Well by moving the horizon of course!

In this edit you’ll learn how to move the horizon line so it isn’t intersecting a dogs head. Along with tips for removing distractions, extending the image, enhancing the misting morning anbd much more!
