I know my partner struggles to take decent people photos but does really nice landscapes - there is definitely some skill involved! I've found that if I really want him to take my photo I need to start by lining up the shot with him standing where I'll be standing, then I take the photo and show him. It's a bit slow though :)Gabrielle Corbettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-86936561861069875532015-01-11T11:51:08.593+11:002015-01-11T11:51:08.593+11:00Happy New Year Margo.
