Tips & Tricks
📸 CanadaDocks Photo Contest – Tips & Tricks for a Winning Shot
Want your photo to stand out?
Follow these simple tips to help ensure your photo is contest-ready and marketing-friendly!
1️⃣ Keep the Horizon Level
Always shoot straight. Avoid tilting the camera or taking photos at an extreme angle. A level horizon makes your photo look polished and professional.
2️⃣ Aim for High Resolution
Upload the highest resolution possible. Blurry or pixelated photos won’t be usable.
DSLR or mirrorless cameras are preferred. Smartphone cameras can work, but newer models and well-lit conditions are key.
3️⃣ Frame Your Subject Well
Showcase the dock prominently, and include the beautiful surroundings (water, sky, cottage life).
Avoid cutting off important elements or leaving too much empty space.
4️⃣ Pay Attention to Lighting
Early morning or late evening (the “golden hour”) provides the best natural light.
Avoid harsh midday sun when shadows and glare can ruin your shot.
5️⃣ Avoid Filters and Heavy Editing
We love authentic photos. Overuse of filters or editing can reduce image quality and make the photo unusable for print or marketing.
6️⃣ Clean Up the Scene
Tidy up the dock area. Remove garbage, stray objects, or clutter that could distract from the beauty of your dock and surroundings.
7️⃣ Show Off CanadaDocks!
Try to include elements of your CanadaDocks system clearly in the shot—docks, ramps, accessories, or swim platforms.
8️⃣ Be Safe!
- Never risk safety for the perfect shot. Stay stable and don’t lean over water with expensive equipment.
