4. Put the subject of attention in the middle of the frame 

Should not be the subject of attention away from the center of the frame, and it should keep in mind as you look through your camera lens to be a target in the middle of the picture. For example, if you take a picture, and the theme is the face of the person, as there is in the scene also boat floats on the lake on the grounds that the person standing in front of the lake, in this case must be the face of the person in the middle of the picture and the boat is the background of the person is not only Ahave aside.

Paris .. How to become one of the locals?

All tourists around the world do always the same things as taking pictures and wandering along the roads without the search for alternative or new ways to discover the cities, however, trying the livelihood of  local people , will be a different way to enjoy the city of Paris.

1. Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe 

It's known that Parisians are very proud of famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe and even love seeing their lights shining in the night. And more than that, they believe that enjoy panoramic views of the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower, a wonderful experience.
