Summarize the following:
For instance, in San Antonio, Texas, you might photograph the River Walk, the Alamo, and Texas Hill Country landscapes, because those are pictures that magazines might look for to fill up pages. Every piece of the photo is part of what you're trying to convey, so make sure each part says what you want it to say. For instance, if you're trying to show beauty in the midst of drudgery, a flower in a dirty old tire works well. However, if you're trying to catch a pristine photo of your nephew, you might want the dirty tire out of the frame. Taking photographs from interesting angles and distances can change how the viewer sees the subject. For instance, if you take an aerial shot of your yard from your roof, you might see patterns you didn't know were there.  Always be safe when taking photographs. Call in extra help if you are climbing ladders. Alternatively, try taking a shot of something by getting up close and personal. Having the subject take up the whole frame can make the shot more interesting. That is, be on the same level as your subject. If you're photographing a child or a pet, get on your knees to get the best shot. Just like setting is a part of a story, light is an important aspect of any photo. Natural lighting can illuminate photos with a glow that surrounds subjects. However, even if you're in dark conditions, try using lamps and other light sources to create interesting shadows with your subject, such as lighting the subject from the side. If you're taking photos of people, making them laugh will create joyous expressions. When processing your photos, experiment with different filters to make the photo more interesting. However, always be sure to save a copy of the original, so that you can go back to it if you want, especially if a magazine is more interested in a plainer style. Take a little time everyday to go shoot. Walk around your neighborhood, go to the park, or visit a local bar. Always be on the lookout for interesting shots. Remember to ask permission before taking shots in businesses or of people you don't know. That is, don't stop to fiddle with your camera or to look at every shot. Just keep taking photos from different angles so you stay in the moment.
Focus on the most interesting landscapes and landmarks in your area. Pay attention to the small things. Choose a different perspective. Look your subject in the eye. Make light part of the subject. Make them laugh. Try filters. Practice your shooting. Keep shooting.
