The most obvious view isn’t always the most interesting photograph.
Look around. Look behind. Look down. Look for reflections, textures, patterns, shadows, weather, movement and small details.
Textures
Weathered surfaces, rock, wood, paint, stone and natural textures can become photographs in their own right.
Reflections
Search for water, glass, wet sand and unexpected reflections.
Patterns
Repeating shapes, lines and natural forms can create powerful abstract images.
Changing Light
Sunrise, sunset, cloud and weather can completely transform a familiar location.
Unusual Viewpoints
Change your height, angle or position to discover another way of seeing the subject.
Small Details
Sometimes the photograph is beside the landmark rather than of it.
