Photogenic places of the world - #10
Bruges

There are times when the ruggedness of a place is its beauty. A place that springs to mind is the North Yorkshire coast in England.



The coastline is extremely photogenic, and there are many opportunities for capturing it.

In my photo I chose a low viewpoint. In fact, I actually balanced my camera on a pile of pebbles that I scooped together on the beach.

The good things about digital cameras is that you don't have to be looking through the viewfinder in order to frame your photo - they come with really useful screens on the back!

I let my friends wander on along the beach, and then took a couple of photos. I really wanted to get them into the shot somewhere. And here's a good tip - if you're photographing scenery, it is sometimes nice to get people into it.

Photoshop Elements tips and tricks

• Zoomed in too close? Just double click the "hand" on the toolbar, and you'll zoom out to "fit screen" size.
• Want to see your image at actual size? (useful to see detail) Double click on the "magnifying glass" on the toolbar and your image will zoom to actual pixel size.
• Here's a quick way to zoom in - hold down [Ctrl] and [Spacebar] and no matter what tool you were using, it will change to the zoom-in tool. Click the mouse to zoom. Releasing the keys returns you to whatever tool you were using before.
• And to quickly zoom out - hold down [Ctrl], [Spacebar] and [Alt] - it works the same as zooming-in (above), but in reverse!
• If you've zoomed in, and need to get to the "hand" tool (so that you can grab your image and move it around), just hold down the [Spacebar].
