If you have followed me over the years here, you know I have recurring advice for photographers whether they are just starting out or have doing it for years. One theme is to get in close to your subject(s). Now, you may counter it is not always a good thing if you are trying to include a large scene or subject. I surely cannot argue with that. Let us consider this popular photo location in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World: The Train Station.
Everyone wants a photo in front of the train station and the huge floral Mickey Mouse symbol. My wife and daughter sure did.

I see this photo online a lot and, on this day, I saw many people posing here. Not many seemed to take my advice and GET CLOSER! Sorry to shout. It only takes a few seconds to either walk or use a zoom lens to get closer.

While the first photo does the job of showing these people were indeed at the Magic Kingdom, the second one shows how happy they were to be there.
