Photographing the Photographer
City Daily Photo's Theme Day is open and the topic is Photographing the Photographer. I selected one of my pictures from the eclipse on August 21. A photographer kindly offered a stranger a chance to look through his long lens and filter.
I often take photos of other people taking pictures, especially on the overlooks of Skyline Drive. Of course, just about everyone takes pictures up there. The views are spectacular! Still, the pictures often look flatter than what you actually saw because there is haze between your vantage point and the valley below. I've found that including a person or two in the foreground adds depth and human interest.

You are absolutely right. I find that including people in photographs provide both interest and a reference point for scale.
