Cant take a photo...period

[dohh]

I"m at gettysburgh. Attempting to takle the first of 2 photos (using the two attachments as a reference from the email for the job). I am in the EXACT spot where attachment 1 reference is, after walking forward a few steps from when I see the on-screen yellow camera icon near the cannon statue. NO matter WHERE i shoot a pic from here, it doesnt complete attachment 1's picture task, so I cant go on to attachment 2. I go back,forward, to the side, left,right...I cannot get the picture just right. THe camera "snaps" with a noise, so I know I"m taking pictures, but whenever I step back the camera icon is still there.
In one of the posts below, the DEV says the "icon" goes away (assuming it's the "take this picture here"yellow camera icon) when you're in the right spot. Well, how is one supposed to determine the right spot?
THe taking pictures tasks need to be a LOT easier.

Unless it's changed, the centre of the camera icon turns grey when you are in the right spot.
That can also include looking up or down. It confused me at first, but always works now(if a little tricky at times).

Thanks; yes I had heard this, although the DEV gives a different desctription in one of these posts which lets you know it's "ready". Either way, doesnt work for me. I actually printed out the attachment 1 for Getysburgh, so I have a reference right in front of me. First off: it is impossible to get the exact same point as in the attachment....the camer'a viewfinder doesn't allow it. Secondly, I've been almost exactly there, but no matter how many pics I take: nothing. Nada.
DEVS: why not adjust this mode so it's not IMPOSSIBLE:
-allow one to see the ref pic in a smaller box while camera is functioning
-make it so you don't have to be in the minutely exact position as the attachment reference...close enough should be good. Kind of too hard and a huge time waster for progression.
-allow the camera to zoom in or out a bit before taking the picture without having the player have to physically move up down left or right,as we do when finding a dig spot. Another huge time waster.
-lastly: challenges aside, allow free exploration for all places for those who don't want to or have TIME to progress in the storyline...especially when things like photo mode, part of the storylines, ahasn't been revised so it's not so insanely difficult. Taking pictures should be a FUN ,easy part of an assignment!

Taking photos of the attachment-references in the jobs does NOT work for me in Gettysburgh or the first (free) area (Bavaria). At all. Ever. Camera comes up when pressing Z, and I can take pictures at will, but I have no way of knowing where the right "area" is, after walking in ,around, or about the camera icon that appears on screen. Whether it's taking pictures of the monuments in gettsyburgh, or the plants/flowers in bavaria, I never get ANY indication that I've succeeded. THis is SOOOO frustrating.

I´m having problems too taking a picture of the village in tenczyn castle area. I´m at the right spot to take it, under the yellow camera icon but no matter where i point the camera center don´t change color to indicate it´s the right spot. I have lost 45 minutes with this. is very frustrating
