Description I took hundreds of pictures on the great wall, but it was so difficult to show the true scale of wall. I knew as I was taking pictures that they would not do proper justice to this immense feet of engineering, but, came across this watch tower and with super light managed to catch this image which comes closest to showing the wall as I remember it.

Thankyou, yes, it did mean such a lot to be there, the whole trip to China was magical but seeing the wall, well, words and pictures can't describe it

How do you take a photo of the great wall?
I'd never be able to do it, where to start, to end, angle... leaving that to the professionals haha

lnmiller In reply to savelove [2010-01-17 12:28:25 +0000 UTC]

I took thousands! eventually I was going to get one right.., no it was difficult.. the wall was so amazing but it was almost impossible to capture anything like what it was really like.

lnmiller In reply to Dirzha [2010-01-17 12:30:46 +0000 UTC]

thankyou, it needed something to give the scale of the place.. I tried using people in the shot, but somehow this didn't work so well for me as I wanted to capture something of the way the wall would have looked at the time it was built..

Dirzha In reply to lnmiller [2010-01-19 13:07:51 +0000 UTC]

Using people in photographs like that tend to be really hard and you have to work a lot on it to make it look good.
I myself really think it's look bad to use people in photograph of landscapes and different bigger objects.
You picked a good spot to photograph from, really
