Recommended!! Shooting Technique 1 Shooting Technique 2 Look for a flat wall that has no markings. Find some reference points and use a tripod. Best cropping results are obtained when the background is a wall that is completely free of visible markings like the one shown above. In this case, it is not necessary to take pains to position the camera correctly when shooting the second (background only) image required by Dynamic Photo. When shooting against a blank wall, you can move the camera around as much as you like while shooting CS images of a moving subject. When there are reference points in the image as shown above, you need to compose the second (background only) image precisely according to the reference points. In this case, you will need to keep the camera as still as possible when shooting the first image (subject and background) and the second image (background only). Use a tripod whenever possible, and make sure that image is composed exactly the same for both the first image and the second image. 8 Creating a Dynamic Photo Image
