Here’s a list of highlights to look for on your roadtrip:

1. Find interesting structures: Look for buildings, landmarks, bridges, or any human-made objects that catch your attention.
2. Get a good view: Position yourself where you can see the entire structure or focus on specific details that stand out to you.
3. Frame your shot: Use your camera or smartphone to frame the structure within the viewfinder. Experiment with different angles and perspectives.
4. Pay attention to lighting: Make sure the lighting enhances the highlights. Avoid harsh shadows or overexposure. Adjust your position or the time of day if needed.
5. Capture the details: Zoom in or get closer to capture interesting architectural elements, textures, patterns, or decorations.
6. Include surroundings: Take wider shots to include the surrounding environment, showing how the man-made highlight fits into the bigger picture.
7. Experiment with composition: Try different compositional techniques like the rule of thirds, leading lines, or symmetry to make your photos visually appealing.
8. Consider people: Including people in your photos can provide a sense of scale and add life to the man-made highlights. Capture individuals interacting with the structure if possible.
9. Edit if desired: Use simple editing tools to adjust brightness, contrast, or color to enhance the visual impact of your photos.
10. Have fun and be creative: Don’t be afraid to try new things, explore different perspectives, and enjoy the process of capturing man-made highlights in your own unique way.
