I'm trying to explain how to take funny pictures at tourist sites.

Could anyone please correct these sentence? I want use the sentences in an informal conversation.

1. You can have your picture taken as if the Hollywood sign is on your hand.
2. You can have your picture taken as if you're putting your hand on the shoulder of the Great Buddha statue.
 
They are correct as is.
 
I started to think maybe I should use the past tense after I posted the above post.
Don't I need to use "as if ... was" and "as if ... you were" instead of "as if ... is" and "as if ... you are"?
If not, please tell me when to use "as if ... was" and when to use "as if ... is" .
 
In this context, all your variations are possible, with little difference in meaning.

Could anyone please explain how different they are?
 
There's no practical difference.

I thought there is a slight difference, because Rover_KE wrote "little difference", not "no difference".
 
Not enough difference to waste any more time over.

Note the distinction between 'little difference' (hardly any discernible difference) and 'a little difference' (a slight difference).
