Tourists were trying get their photo taken by a friend but other tourists were constantly walking through the frame. This will always be a problem at popular tourist spots and using a point-and-shot digital camera doesn’t help. Why? Because it takes far to long to compose and take the picture.

One, two, three, done. That’s about how long it should take to get one of these pictures otherwise it’s going to be a very long day.

Before you go out for a day of tourist hopping get some practice with the camera. Figure out a method where you only need a instant to compose and shot. Then practice, practice, practice. After all this may be a once in a lifetime experience.

PS: This is the famous entrance to the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre where all the stars put their hand and foot prints.
