• Only take photos from public land unless you have the permission of the owner to enter their property. Try not to include people in the picture unless it’s a general street scene.
• You can upload 4 photos per nomination - make sure your selection clearly shows the significance of the asset and why you think it should be on the West Yorkshire Local List. Think about what is important about your nomination and make sure your photos tell that story.

Make sure your choice of shots include:

- clear shots of the whole asset, and

- details of any particularly important features

For example, if the asset is a building, provide views of all elevations that can be seen from public land and detailed shots of any architectural features of interest.

If the asset is a designed landscape such as a graveyard, provide a selection of general views from different locations and detailed shots of particularly significant features such as a surviving historic layout and planting or characteristic grave markers, chapels or boundary walls.

• Make sure light levels are good and that the asset can be clearly seen and understood and isn’t hidden in shadow, glaring sunlight, rain or poor light levels at dusk and dawn.
• When photographing buildings, make sure vertical lines remain at 90 degrees by stepping away from the building to be able to keep the camera lens level and aligned with the mid-point of the building rather than being too close and having to point the lens upwards. Think about the angles you are using to show the building. For example, one shot may be able to show two elevations clearly and for other buildings the main elevation will need a shot to itself.

• Don’t manipulate or alter your photos other than simple cropping, rotation and colour / contrast balance. It is important that the images provided are unedited and show the asset as it is as the photographs are a record of the character, appearance and condition of the asset.
