I am making a photo album. The photos are from a shul and on the walls of the shul, there are plaques that say hashems name. I am nervous about including those pictures because it will make the album Sheimis. I have some pictures where the plaque is at a different angle and one of the letters is like half cut off. If the letter isnt entirely clearly represented in the picture of the plaque, is it still sheimis?

Correct, if part of the letter is cut off, it's not sheimos.
