As I said above, all of these pictures were taken in the Boston area; in fact, they were taken in my own neighborhood! What I am trying to say is that if you want to take a picture with the quality of a professional, all you need to do is keep your eyes open and investigate all the possible angles. I take images that, to an untrained eye are impossible to capture. Another thing that sometimes keeps photographers from capturing the intended images is embarrassment. I used to become very embarrassed when I went on my trips for photography. The trick is to ignore all of the other people around you, and focus on the camera view finder. Otherwise, your photo will turn out worse than you wanted or you won’t take it at all. I guess what I am really trying to say is that don’t get down about your pictures if you aren’t getting the exact picture that you were hoping for. I use a digital camera with a gigabyte card to I can just take a couple shots of each interesting view. Good Luck!
