For example, the image
shows the Washington Monument
photographed from the Vietnam
War Memorial.
2. Include pictures of friends or relatives in front of
historical landmarks or other scenic vistas. If you
can, photograph people with their backs to the sun to
avoid squinting faces, and remember to compensate
for backlit subjects. Compose pictures of this type so
that the people in the picture and the landmark are
identifiable. Avoid mistakes like having the Leaning
Tower of Pisa growing out of someone??™s head.
3. To include yourself in pictures with friends and relatives, ask a passerby who looks
trustworthy to take the picture. Compose the scene first and then hand the camera to
the passerby and instruct him or her on how to release the shutter.
QUICKFACTS
GOING BEYOND THE PERFECT
SUNRISE AND SUNSET
Many people believe that once the sun goes down, the
sunset is over. When you photograph a beautiful sunset
with billowing clouds, wait a few minutes. Even though
the sun is below the horizon, it still illuminates the clouds.
Wait for 10 or 15 minutes, and you??™ll see the clouds
become transformed with shades of pink and purple.
At sunrise, the opposite happens. A few minutes before
sunrise, the clouds are bathed with subtle pastel hues
of pink and blue.
