sunset ot shoe-stagrams, there are more stunning pictures being taken too. glimpses into what we see and share with each other. joe brown, technology editor at "wired," amateur photographer, professional critic, knows exactly how best to capture that moment. >> people are getting better, which is nice because my facebook feed doesn't look so terrible anymore. >> reporter: the most common mistake? >> using the flash. like, if you want to make your subject look like a vampire, by all means, shine a giant, ultra white light in their face. >> reporter: also, use those lines. turn on that grid you didn't even know was there. straighten things up. >> nothing kills a photograph more than it being crooked. >> reporter: and be mindful of composition. use those gridlines to place your subjects along its intersections. professionals call it the rule of thirds. and finally, be alive to the moments around you. freeze some beauty. capture what used to be gone in an instant, but now lingers, alive, in photographer nation. and the 4.4 trillion photographs

that now exist to tell your story. john donvan, abc news, new york. >> thank to jon john for a good photographer fee course. send us your photos. you can share them an flicker. go to abcnews.com to find out how. that's all for us tonight. thanks for watching. have a good night and i'll see you tomorrow on "gma."

>> announcer: the following program is sponsored by operation smile. every year, hundreds of thousands of children are born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. >> why should any child anywhere on this planet have to live a life of misery? >> a lot of people think that children that are born with these deformities are cursed. just imagine a life alone, that nobody wanted to be around you. >> and we had children coming in for screening with brown bags over their head. they're never allowed to leave their house unless they have a bag on their heads. >> some children don't live because they have problems with eating and drinking and die of

malnutrition. >> and they see us as their last resort. >> every child deserves a fair chance at life. >> it may only take an hour to do something that'll change their lives forever. >>nd you just see a whole new person, a whole new beginning. it's almost like they're reborn. i can't think of another word but "phenomenal." >> as a mother, i would do anything i could to help my child live a normal life, and i'm sure you would, too. but what if you couldn't do anything? what if you were totally helpless? that's the situation for hundreds and thousands of parents in developing countries whose children are born with cleft lip or cleft palate. in the united states, these deformities are corrected shortly after birth, but in many countries around the world, these children are left

untreated and are shunned. [ indistinct conversations ] i'm in le loi hospital. the volunteer operation smile medical team has come from all over the world to perform surgeries, and parents have brought their children here hoping that they'll be selected. 9-year-old sut has been ridiculed and rejected all his life. sut isn't even his real name, but that's what he's been called from the day he was born. "sut" means "hair lip" -- a terrible name for a child born with a cleft lip. he's from a very poor family who could never afford surgery. when he was 5, he went for his first day of school. the other kids laughed at him and made fun of him, so he ran away from school, and he's never been back. he has problems speaking, eating, and drinking. >> he's got to be able to move

his lip, so that's the first part of speech, so that's why we've got to be able to fix this part so he can talk better. can you open your mouth wide? good. can i hear you say "ah!" >> ah! >> there are so many children that have facial deformities and cleft palate and cleft lip, and they need so much attention and help, and especially how we do it at home so young and to think that we have 7- and 8-year-olds in these countries that need help. >> [ speaking vietnamese ] >> if we don't do it, the children are gonna have deformities for the rest of their lives. it'll affect their happiness, their ability to speak, the way they look. and if we can just do a simple procedure -- it may only take an hour to do something that'll change their lives forever. [ child crying ] >> operation smile began when my wife, kathy, and i were asked to go on a medical mission to the philippines to take care of

children who were born with cleft lips and cleft palates. >> while in the philippines, we turned away 250 children, and we always had hoped that we would be able to take care of those kids. and we went back. we gathered a group of our friends. and we did that. we took care of those children. >> that decision literally changed the course and the direction of our lives, our families' lives, our values, and, i believe, our purpose in life. >> this little guy's name is son. he's 2 years old. he was born with both a cleft lip and a cleft palate, which is an opening in the roof of his mouth. his mom is very worried. son has difficulty eating and often chokes on his food. they don't have enough money for

rice, much less to afford this surgery. she never ever thought he might have thichance. she says she wants him to be handsome. the hardest part is operation smile can't possibly operate on all these children this week. more that 500 kids have come here for screening, most of them from miles and miles away. but we'll only be able to help about 100 children this trip. >> why should any child anywhere on this planet have to live a life of misery because someone isn't there to take care of them? there's no justice in that. >> ngan, who's 3, has a beautiful smile, but it wasn't always this way. she was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate. last year, operation smile repaired her lip, and she's back
