Vacations
To make your vacation pictures stand out from the rest, look for unusual ways to view your subjects. Here's a small sampling.
A New Take on Disney World
The Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue is in front of the Disney World Cinderella castle (see Figure 7.29). For a new perspective, I walked next to the statue and saw that Disney was "blessing" his creation (see Figure 7.30).

Figure 7.29 How to get a new perspective on an overdone subject.

Figure 7.30 Change your angle, and see how the subject interacts with the background.
At the Zoo
Enclosures can be a big problem (Figure 7.31), but by shooting through or over the fence, or shooting where there is no fence (Figure 7.32), you can get some intriguing photos.
)
Figure 7.31 The chain-link fence is quite visible, even with a wide aperture (f/4.0) so if possible, try to place your lens against the fence and shoot through a gap in the links.
