Mistakes in Amateur Photography - The Shadow (Page Two)

		The shadowy figure in the foreground. How many pictures do you see where there is the mysterious stranger in the frame. Who is it? Well, it's seldom a real mystery. It's usually the photographer and can usually be found along the bottom edge of a snapshot.
Can't get enough? Go back to PAGE ONE of THE SHADOW OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER OR Go on to PAGE THREE of THE SHADOW OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER	This is a part of a series looking at a few examples from Lost Gallery of the seven most common problems of the amateur photographer. 1.) The photographer's own shadow is in the picture. 2.) Forgot to advance the film: The Double Exposure 3.) Blocked the lens with a finger or a thumb or something 4.) Somebody moved, either the subject or the photographer 5.) Not framed right, Missing heads, feet, people 6.) Improper lighting (Overexposed, Underexposed) 7.)
