specially in the summertime tourists crowd every single famous museum, art gallery, park, square and statue — with their little pocket cameras and smartphones. Some of them may even have a proper system camera to shoot their families and friends with, yet they all have something in common: they don’t really take good shots. Their companions are happy and smiling, but their exaggerated posi-tions aped from the anTm don’t make them look great, the statue behind them can’t be seen properly and the photo will be overexposed and messy. also the photographers’ shooting positions can be interest-ing if not even hilarious to look at. They don’t use the viewfinder but hold their hands straight and squint their eyes as they try to see the picture through the display in the dazzling sunlight. after all their snapshots from holidays can be a good phe-nomenon. it keeps the camera business running and gives a feeling of being creative. They shouldn’t be too disturbing unless they’ll force me to look at their holiday photo albums.
