A Bird In Hand
Looking for the very best place to take your shots?
Here's a word of caution.
Don't be like our friend Dick, the over-prepared
photographer. Dick arrived in Paris with a week to shoot
his story. He spent the first day walking the streets,
spotting locations.
The next six days it rained. That beautiful morning light
dancing on the Seine and that warm afternoon sun on the
Eiffel Tower were a wash. And so was his shoot.
When you're traveling, your time is limited. Don't spend
hours getting an overview. Shoot!
Rule 1: Shoot as you scout your locations. (You can
always trash the unsuccessful frames.)
Rule 2: Use the photographer-tested technique of scouting
the post card racks. The locations are recognized
landmarks shot by the local pros.
