[* black] The first item to consider when taking pictures is how to orient whatever it is that you're working on in the guide.

[* black] The second picture is taken from a side view. Now "left" and "right" are more obvious, but a reader may still be confused by the pictures. Think about it—who ties their shoes sideways?
[* black] The third photo shows a true first-person perspective, making following directions far easier for your audience. This is what your reader will see when he looks down to tie his own shoe (with a foot inside the shoe, of course).
