FOREGROUND INTEREST can be overdone. Although boats have popular appeal, it is difficult to arrange them
pleasingly and there are often too many of them.
A SIMPLE FOREGROUND adds depth to the picture without drawing attention away from the main subject. The
figures set the scale, emphasising the vastness of the scene.
WATCH THE VERTICALS when photographing buildings. You cannot always get them completely parallel, but
they should be reasonably so unless you are striving for a special effect Use the viewpoint that shows two sides of the
building, helping to create an impression of shape and form.
A DELIBERATE TILT can be effective. Here you throw out the rule book to give your picture impact. The tilt must
be violent and it is usually better not to include the base of the building.
