I’m always interested in finding simple things you can do to take better pictures. Here are some links I’ve collected. <\/p>\n
One thing I discovered as a tourist is that if you ask a random person to take your picture (because you’re traveling alone or because it’s a group picture), they will usually gladly oblige, but they will also do a really bad job of framing the photo. <\/p>\n
Here’s what I want: A head-and-shoulders shot of me with the object of interest. <\/p>\n
Usually I’ll get this: The photographer has zoomed out because they want to get my whole body (and my sneakers and my backpack that I put on the ground because I don’t want it in the picture): <\/p>\n
