[Look Closer +]( PHOTO TIP #0029 “Hope for bad weather. Think of the drama when it’s pouring rain or when snow is falling. It adds an extra element to the mood of an image, and should be embraced.” —Ronan Donovan, National Geographic photographer[@ronan_donovan]( SELFIES ON ASSIGNMENT . Photographer Oded Balilty snapped this selfie while on assignment with a team of archaeologists in the Israeli village of Huqoq last June. “This was on the last day of photographing the [excavation of a mosaic depicting a scene from the Bible]( which had been uncovered in an ancient synagogue. The mosaic was very wide. Behind me, you can see how I positioned my camera to capture the overhead shots. I was able to control the camera from my computer and take the picture. I had to photograph very early in the morning in order to avoid direct sunlight on the mosaic.” You can follow [Oded]( on Instagram.
