When you arrive in San Fierro you can start taking pictures of various local places of interest. Most of these snapshot locations look slightly unusual compared to the normal textures and constructions in the game but the only way to check a location is to view it through the camera viewfinder. A true snapshot location will have a small purple icon with a camera on it.
To take a snapshot you need to zoom in on the icon and try to centre it in the viewfinder.
The easiest way to start taking snapshots is at the entrance gate to the San Fiero airport where there is a plane above the gate.
