These are amazing photographs!

You surely have exhibited your art before? You have so much talent. Please don’t stop taking stunning pictures! I hope you never quit taking such remarkable photos.

Make it your career if you haven’t already.

Good luck to you.

There is a stunning photo of tree seen as it is framed by an old window frame.

It is a very unusual picture of this gorgeous tree inside of a very weathered window frame This shows a high level of artistic sensitivity.

I hope you will follow your creatiive instincts. I believe that these come from your Creator!

Thanks for inspiring post.

Thanks @Christina-NYC for the great tips. As for taking 360s of monuments your composition and placement is important. Make sure you are in a spot that gives the viewer a good view of the surroundings. The Baalbek Roman ruins in Lebanon are so magnificent and lend themselves to 360 photography.

Excellent suggestions, dear Googler @Christina-NYC

I would like to add few points (may be many are aware of this):

If permitted:

1. Use a Tripod stand, so that

2. We can opt for a smaller aperture (Like 11 or so) &

3. Also lower shutter speed,

4. and still maintain ISO-100 (or even less)

Although we have limitation in uploading photos with high resolution, still, as a photographer, I would suggest to use a camera with 24 Mega pixel (12 Megapixel Minimum).

My humble contribution: Taj Mahal - India (One of the 7 Wonders of the World)

Although this is not a Golden Hour shot, I have tried my best to give the emphasis to Taj and tried best lighting for it; hope you will like it,

Thanks,

This is very helpful! I never thought about giving so much effort on taking pictures for Google Maps. I’ll do my best from now on!
