Summarize the following:
At its core, Fortnite is an elimination-style shooter which emphasizes being the last person, duo, or squad standing. To this end, successful Fortnite players are often cautious and situationally aware. Surviving in Fortnite is much more important than killing other players. There are a few main conventions Fortnite uses to add a twist to its gameplay:   Entry — All Fortnite players start in the same location (a flying bus) out of which they must jump in order to land on the island below.  Pickaxe — Fortnite players all start with a pickaxe in their inventories. This pickaxe can be used for anything from offense to resource gathering.  Resources — Resources such as wood can be gathered by using your pickaxe on things like houses and trees. These resources can then be used to build structures such as towers or barricades.  Storm — The storm is a convention which slowly makes outer parts of the map unplayable as the game goes on. It does this by expanding inward at certain points in the match (e.g., 3 minutes in). Getting caught in the storm will cause you to die slowly. Once a Fortnite game has progressed past the 3-minute mark, a storm will appear on the outskirts of the map. This storm will progressively grow, thus shrinking the playable area and forcing the remaining players together. If you get caught in the storm, it will rapidly drain your health, eventually resulting in death if you remain in the storm long enough. The storm will usually kill several players in the mid- to end-game part of a match, so make sure you're aware of the storm's position as the match goes on. To win in Fortnite, all you have to do is stay alive until everyone else is dead. While this is significantly easier said than done, the best way to stay alive is by avoiding unnecessary risks and encounters. Aggressive strategies aren't out of the question in Fortnite, but they tend to work best for quicker, more experienced players. Many Fortnite players will jump out of the bus near the beginning of the match, or when they spot a large settlement below. Instead of following suit, try to exit the bus at the very last second, and aim for a small house or village rather than larger establishments. This will place you on the outskirts of the map, so you'll need to move further than other players to avoid the storm later in the game. While your pickaxe can be used as a last-ditch weapon if necessary, weapons such as assault rifles, sniper rifles, and shotguns tend to dominate Fortnite's conflicts. Keep in mind that any weapon is better than no weapon, so picking up a pistol or an SMG if you can't find your preferred weapon is perfectly fine—you can always switch out your weapons later. Using your pickaxe on things like wood or rocks will net you resources which can be used to create towers, barricades, walls, and so on. Player-made shelters tend to be conspicuous, but they're good for putting a few layers of cover between you and an enemy player if the player already knows where you are. An alternative to using resources for shelter is hiding in existing shelters (e.g., houses) or taking cover inside of hiding places such as bushes. Staying faced toward the center of the map with your back to the ocean will decrease the risk of someone sneaking up on you, especially if the storm has begun to develop.  The water/storm is one section from which you can literally never be attacked, making it the only true "corner" you can back yourself into. Be careful not to get stuck between a conflict and the storm, as this will force you to enter a fight you might not be qualified for. If you're playing a Duo or Squad match, it's incredibly important for you to talk to your teammates about known enemy locations, discovered resources, and the like.  Naturally, you'll skip this step if you're playing the Solo gametype. You can also let your teammate(s) know when you've been downed, making it easier for them to come find and revive you. You can usually tell which kind of weapon an enemy has from a distance; this is important if you're struggling to find decent power weapons, as going up against a player who has an assault rifle while you have a pistol will almost certainly prove fatal for you.  Consider hiding instead of fighting if the enemy is better-armed and/or better-positioned. It's also important to keep an eye on a prospective target's behavior. If the enemy is running around looking for loot, you have a better chance of catching them off-guard than if they're holed up in a bunker. Bushes, houses, and other easy hiding spots are likely to contain enemies, especially later in the game when more of the players are in the same location. Fortnite players tend to be fairly creative when it comes to hiding spots. If you hear a player inside a house and you can't find them, your best bet is to run away rather than spend more time searching for them. Like any other online shooter, Fortnite has a steep learning curve at first, and the only way to improve is by continuing to play. Once you've played a few games, you'll most likely have a handle on the basics of Fortnite, making it easier to secure a win.

summary: Understand the premise of Fortnite. Familiarize yourself with basic Fortnite conventions. Avoid the storm. Try playing conservatively at first. Jump to Tilted Towers. Acquire a weapon as soon as possible. Use resources to build shelter as needed. Keep your back to the water. Communicate with your team if necessary. Evaluate enemies before engaging them. Look for enemies in common hiding spots. Keep playing.

This is the perfect time to photograph the lights, as it’s not too light and not too dark yet. Try to get to the location early, roughly 15-20 minutes before dusk, so you’re sure not to miss the ideal photographing time. Check to see when the sun is going to set so you can make a plan to arrive before dusk.  If you take the pictures earlier, the lights won’t look lit in the photos, and if you take the pictures after the sun has set, then you won’t be able to see the background. When the Christmas lights look like they’re shining brighter against the darkening sky, it’s time to start taking pictures. Continue taking pictures of the lights until you’re satisfied with your collection or the sun completely sets. Since you’re using a slower shutter speed, your photos are going to be more affected by any wobbliness or movement. A tripod is necessary to keep your photographs stable and not blurry.  Set the tripod up on stable ground before dusk so that you have time to make any adjustments. If you don’t have a tripod, try balancing your camera on the hood of a car or another stable surface. If you're using your phone, consider investing in a portable tripod made for your specific type of cellphone. Your camera will require different settings depending on how close or far you are from the Christmas tree lights. Decide exactly what you want to capture in your photo, such as the details of the ornaments on the tree, or a decorated house with lots and lots of lights that is best seen from far away. For example, a picture of a close-up of a Christmas tree will likely require less lighting than a picture of a house lit up when the sun has set. If you're taking pictures of your Christmas tree inside during the daylight, make sure you take it from the right angle. Avoid backlighting to ensure your picture doesn't come out super dark and be aware of how the windows will impact the lighting. If you're taking the picture indoors at night, try to dim the lights in your house so that the Christmas tree stands out but can still be seen. Take pictures from several different angles with different levels of lighting to see which one looks best.
summary: Aim to begin shooting at dusk. Bring a tripod to keep your shots stable. Choose how close or far away you'll be from the lights. Find the right lighting if you're shooting indoors.
