capture tall, narrow subjects, such
as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a
single person.

• Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch,
a window, or even the rails of
a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you.
This provides the best
subject illumination.
• Keep your hand, fingers, or objects
away from the flash and picturetaking lens.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces
like windows or mirrors to avoid
