There is a device which you attach to your camera lenns which shoots at a right angle. Therefore the subject is unaware you are shooting him or her. The camera is thus pointed well away from the subject. HOWEVER I agree that is is better to get a model release. But there are exceptions to the rule that states a model release is require. "For my candids on the streets, in parks, festivals, or in travel scenes, markets, etc., I usually don't worry about it. But if I think I've made an image that will surely sell commercially, then I'll try for a release. If you think that your pictures might be commercially used, make the effort to get a release, and be prepared to give something for that permission. A thank-you print or prints, a small donation or payment, etc., is considered fair price for the permission to use their likeness "forever." It may not be required, but it's only fair if they ask for something in return. For my candids on the streets, in parks, festivals, or in travel scenes, markets, etc., I usually don't worry about it.

There is a device which you attach to the lens of your camera which shoots at a right angle. That way your camera is pointed well away from the subject so they are unaware of your shooting the photo. HOWEVER, I concur with others who say it is ideal to simply get your subject's consent. And if you intend to publish the photo ANYWHERE, even on, for example, Flickr, a release from the subject is ideal an may spare you complaints or, in the extreme case, a lawsuit. "However, for photos that will be used in commercial applications - ads, brochures, posters, greeting cards, catalogs, postcards, kiosks, trade shows, Web sites, etc. - you will need a release from your subject in order to be "legal." Some ask: "If you sell a photograph to a newspaper, is it now considered a commercial use since there was commercial gain?" or, "If you sell a print from an exhibit, is that commercial gain?" In theory, no. In practice, my photojournalist friends do not get releases; and my colleagues in the general editorial and fine art genres don't get releases very often, either. In all these years, I don't know anyone personally who has had a legal issue regarding releases for these areas of photography. I have sold images for use in travel guides, and done many assignments for consumer magazines without needing to get releases. There are exceptions, however, such as corporate magazines."

This is from Wikepedia Ron The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design.[1] The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.[2] Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

Microsoft has a built-in program called \"Paint.\" Simply right click on your photograph and choose \"Open with Paint from the menu that appears. There you choose \"Resize\" and set it to \"Percentage.\" Choose the percentage by which you wish to enlarge or reduce the size of your photo. Then save the resulting image where you like. Simple yes? I hope this helps you. Ron
