Landmarks
« on: April 17, 2018, 07:45:16 pm »

How do you photograph landmarks that have millions of pictures taken already? What can you do to bring something new and yet make it recognizable. Or you just give up and take the same shot as everybody else?

Few attempts here, these are from Paris.

It's tough! I try to find something different or at least not the most common view. But really with anything world famous, it's probably been done. A lot.
I tried a less popular angle of the Sydney Opera House when I got a chance a few years ago.

With Kilimanjaro I had fewer options, at least from the mountain itself.

So my answer is a bit of both, with an attempt at originality if I can find a different angle. And different might just be less popular, not unique.
