1. Close one eye: When looking at a scene we are viewing it in three dimension, a

camera only sees two. By closing an eye we now see what the camera see.

2. Learn to see photos. A land/cityscape is made up of many photo's not just the

overall view. Learn to pick out the best.

3. Frame the photo with your hands. You may think you look silly but try making a

picture frame with your hands to see what your finished photo will look like.

You'll learn to see things in a smaller better prospective.

4. Try Backlighting: Light coming from behind your subject will highlight the edges

of your subject. A persons hair etc. It will also de-emphases the background by

washing it out. Remember to expose for subject (Move in close set your exposure

then back up and take your photo.) Great for Portraits.

5. Bracketing: Film is relatively inexpensive when compared to your vacation. So

if a photo is really great shoot it at the recommended exposure then again at one

f stop above & one f stop below the original. This will help you get the photo you

want. There are variations everywhere in photography: Processing, the film,

(ASA) shutter speeds & f stops. The right exposure will create the right photo.

6. Use tripods:  for slower shutter speeds or close up work. Also obviously for

multiple exposures.

7. Unless you have a T/S (Tilt & Shift) Lens. (Very few people do.) move back

from tall or wide objects & use a longer lens. looking up at the statue of liberty,

since your closer to the bottom then you are to the top will make the bottom appear

larger then in reality. This distortion, if desired will make the buildings seem taller.

8. When shooting buildings, shoot from a corner. Showing two sides of the the structure

will bring it to life.
