Photo-taking for Tourists - 101 cont'd
The Leaning Tower of Pisa - What not to do


While we like to figure out most of our shots on our own, one cannot help but to be influneced by the work of people around us.  Some of it is quite good, and inventive.  And some, not so much...

In fact, the web is filled with examples of Pisa shots gone wrong.  Here are a few examples to learn from.

1) Realize, that you are not alone...  Any shot that you take of the leaning tower is bound to be filled with many others doing the same thing.

2) Unless of course, you opt to take your picture from one of the less dramatic points of view.  Then again, you get what you pay for...

Now, this isn't too bad.  I like that it is unique!  But something just isn't right...
