Photo Shooting Strategies

While walking along the trek path, the following two strategies were used for creating the images on the trek:

1. Frame shots on objects with at least two intersecting lines or edges so that these two edges would form the legs of a triangle in the image. The bottom edge of the picture would form the base of the triangle. Position the tip of the triangle around the middle of the picture frame. Have the base of the triangle reach across the bottom of the picture frame.

2. At the edge of any street that you cross or in the middle of any unusually long blocks shoot four pictures with the camera at ground level and with the camera pointing north, south, east and west.
