Waterfalls: Gudbrandsdal is narrow and steep-sided along most of its length, and the Lagen River, which rushes through it, is broken by numerous rapids and waterfalls. In a few places where the valley broadens out, relatively dense agricultural settlement is found. Otherwise, habitations are krgely restricted to the valley bottom beside the national highway and main-line railroad that run between Oslo and Trondheim.
Make it a real point, however, to include these minor elements, unless the picture is a close-up portrait or a straight record. If the picture features a group of trees, a second group or other objects a little farther away will help toward balance. In picturing such subjects as waterfalls it is often a help, rather than a hindrance, to include people who may be in the field of view. They should, however, look at the scene—not at the camera—and they should be at least twenty-five feet from the camera. |
