if you are in a hurry, get a book with the shots your friend likes and
imitate them exactly. this is not art and it may not be all that rewarding
artistically, but it would meet your friend's needs, and you would learn how
to do those kinds of shots. when you get comfortable with technique and can
reproduce any shot you see pretty well, you can branch off on your own. a UV
filter in the mountains is very important. a polarizer may not work out that
well with the wider lenses as the darkening of the sky may be too uneven. if
you are going to be scanning the photos, negatives will give you the most
dynamic range to work with and your friend will still get digital files for
the graphic artist.

Hi Herb
yes, she needs those typical tourist postcard shots (alps, chocolate,
yodeling, watches) everything Switzerland is famous for.
thanks for your answer, I will study the tourist information shots and buy
a
second hand book with Swiss mountain photos too
to learn from them.
