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

A 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 a 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 an excellent b-roll image and stock image to use.

I even got a photo of The Hotel del Coronado, 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 that kept the camera steady for the long exposures.
