While in
Annapolis, I took a few shots of some attractive store front displays.
This one seemed appropriate for this time of year.
I pressed the
camera lens against the store window pane. I didn't look through the
viewfinder, but just pushed the shutter half way to auto-focus and then all the
way down to take the picture. By checking the results immediately after,
(I love digital cameras), I discovered with this method, it was easy to have the
camera tilted unless after positioning the camera, you look at it while
composing the shot and try to judge it's levelness. After the first
picture, I just moved the camera horizontally a bit for the second shot.
In this case the camera was about waist high which makes it less obvious
to anyone around what you're doing and is much easier to accomplish
physically. Pressing the lens flat against the store window glass helps to
minimize other light sources from getting to the lens or bouncing off the
surround glass pane that may cause problems such as glare. It was
nighttime, but the well lit store display provided plenty of light for the
shot.
