Standing right next to the Kremlin in Red Square, St Basil's Cathedral is an iconic and beautiful landmark in Moscow, Russia. Originally built in 1555, the church has been a #UNESCO world heritage site since 1990. The beautiful onion domes are meant to be shaped like flames of a bonfire rising to the sky. Here's a photo tip for shooting iconic places like this where there are always lots of people milling around: you don't always need to show the entire building. Try different framing techniques, like just showing the tops of the domes against a blue-bird day with pretty clouds. Think outside of the box! // photo by @jonathan_irish
