How do photographs Landmark and Monument?

Difficulties that appear in the photographs is a famous landmark as a place or building that is famous. So popular, so almost all of the image, even the most beautiful, can be considered negative. The challenge is to bring home memories that photographs can be identified (You want people to know where you are at that time) and an interesting picture on the postcard.

However, do not cut the picture postcard too fast. You can find some alternative to the usual-usual course check with the places that provide the point of view that is not conventional. We all know how the Hotel Indonesia roundabout, for example with a water fountain in the middle when viewed from the top of high buildings in the surrounding areas. But what if you enchase pemandagan roundabout through the lattice window a taxi when the congestion in the busy hours? The position also has a marvelous potential - the more bizarre the more interesting. All people have been with the firm's Tugu Monas, but how many people from far mengeksplorasinya, say memotretnya distance from one or two kilometers, to include buildings in the Jalan MH Thamrin Jakarta or Medan Merdeka Selatan, or in the background?

There is no rule that states that the images you must show the entire landmarks or provide literal interpretation as a whole. Sometimes the pieces that separate the subject from a more visually interesting rather than enter the entire subject only to be recognized. (Source: Kompas)
