How to take better holiday photos through science

How much care do you take when composing your holiday snaps? One scientist dares to suggest that with the right methods, your results might easily be improved

I am not being altogether serious but my goal here is to dismantle C.P. Snow's separation of the sciences and the humanities into 'two cultures' to help you take better photographs.

The division is for the most part imaginary - a self-fulfilling prophecy. People of intelligence are interested in all manner of things and unfazed by the artificial boundaries erected around so-called disciplines. You might not probe very deep into the fields beyond your dearest interests but I suspect most people are sufficiently undisciplined to poke an inquisitive finger into all manner of things.
