the camera on the ground or on
restaurant tables for sharpness
in low-light situations and its
small size will allow you to take it

- Lens Shade
important tool that will help preserve saturation and
contrast.
The best lenses to use for making travel photos for sale
should allow you to affix a lens shade and other
attachments such as filters and lens cover.
The lens shade will avoid lens flare that could result in a
lowering of saturation and the reduction of contrast due
to uncontrolled light. The shade will shield the front lens
element from the sun and from stray light.
When unwanted sunlight enters the lens and bounces
around, eventually reaching the sensor or film plane, it
can cause the obvious hexagonal blob and can ruin a
photo. Less noticeable is the light that enters and
imperceptibly lowers contrast and saturation, thus
robbing a photo of punch. This lowering of contrast is a
less obvious form of lens flare that can kill an otherwise
marketable photo.
Subtle lens flare:
The subtle lens flare happens when scattered light
enters the lens and reaches the sensor or film plane
where it brightens up the dark areas and reduces the
contrast between darks and lights. This can be nearly
imperceptible except that you notice a reduction of
contrast. You might find yourself saying that the photo
looks washed out.
If you have forgotten your lens shade or your camera
does not come so equipped, you can use your hand or
any nearby object to shade the lens element from direct
sun. If you are using a tripod, step forward and look at
the front lens element; if the sun or reflected light is
hitting it in any way, you will have lens flare
- Balanced Exposure
exposed frame. Large areas of the frame in shadow or
areas of overexposure where you have blown out detail
will not be acceptable in photos for publication in most
cases. Fill flash and the graduated neutral density filter
will be two of your most important tools in making evenly
exposed images.
- Fill Flash
snapshot variety to the big leagues with fill flash.
The fill flash punches up the colors, lights under wide
brimmed hats, brings sparkle to the eyes, and helps
balance the exposure.
Difficult to use, yes, it takes practice to get it right even
with automatic through-the-lens systems that sense the
light and control the amount of flash hitting the subject or
the amount returning to the sensor. See the tips in this
book on balancing exposure. and Diffused Flash
Diffused and bounce flash are best because they are
less harsh. It should not be obvious that you used flash.

sell them. ....
This is the sort of handbook that you will want to buy, read and then save to refer back to
again and again.
