When I am traveling in a new town I like to try and get the Iconic image of the town, which is often a skyline shot.

Big tip is to find the right time of day to get the photo if at all possible.

One of the iconic places in San Diego is the photo of the statue which is copy of the famous Alfred Eisenstadt's V-J Day Kiss. Since I am here working on a Military Appreciation coverage I thought this would be a good b-roll image and stock image to use.

I even got a photo of The Hotel del Coronado which is another landmark in the San Diego area.

When I went to Seattle I did the same thing.

I shot this photo and then waited for the sun to go down.

For the skyline shots I used a tripod which kept the camera still and steady for the long exposures.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
