  • Photo Tips
  • Make photos around sunset or sunrise. The low light makes for prettier landscapes.
  • Include people doing interesting things, such as skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, hunting, fishing or biking.
  • Get close to your subject and fill the frame, but leave room for the title of the magazine.
  • Only send your best photos.
