Following on from this tip, a tip of my own (which for all I know is common practice/knowledge to photographers and painters). When photographing my trees it helps me to close one eye when composing the shot. This way I get more of a 2D view, the same as the resultant photo.
Obviously when looking through the viewfinder of a normal camera you only look with one eye, and when using an LCD digi camera you get a 2D picture to look at on the camera, but both views are tiny and not much help.
