May 26, 2006, Newsletter Issue #17: Don't Shoot Obvious

Tip of the Week

I'm sure in your lifetime you've seen about a cajillion pictures of Mt. Rushmore, Niagara Falls and the New York skyline. If you do find yourself in a digital landscape photo situation that reeks of familiarity, try shooting from a different angle. Shoot the skyline from the side. Shoot Niagara Falls from the other side. This rule of thumb can also help add interest to any familiar landscape like beaches, fields and forests.

*Another way to break the mold of conventional digital landscape photography is by using lenses that create different optical effects like a fisheye.
