Same Old Shots
Aug 23, 2018 19:41:34 #
It appears that most photographers I know like to travel to the same old places and take the same old shots. Over and over and over. Question: weren't the greatest photographers those who INNOVATED? Those who did something different or creative? C'mon folks. . .do something your own.

Maybe you should lead the way by showing us your innovative photos?

In defence of the ho-hum, how would you feel if I were to take one of your images to print and sell/give away? Would you rather I just go to the same old spot and join the others to make my own image to do as I wished?
Let us go to wonderful places, and record things for later times in our lives. Yea, it is the same as thousands of others, but I would not have to hack into their computers just to view their images. The images would be on my own computer. No hacking needed. Unless of course if I forgot my login password.

Booker, you say, "Most photographers I know..." Maybe you need new photographer friends?
But seriously, c'mon man! Show us the way, or just shut up.

Your point is well taken. However, perhaps your phraseology could be softened a bit. Thank you.

Would love to go to many different spots. Traveled a lot in days gone by but now I am in my nineties with health problems and am lucky to visit the same old nearby places and just try to improve on shooting some of the same old thing.

Some photographers look at a scene, take a picture and leave it alone. I look at a scene and think what do I want to accomplish, what do I want to do. The creative spark is stronger in some than in others.

No website listed in his profile nor any images posted on UHH. Wise words Bill, but I doubt we'll hear anymore from this pretender.

When it comes to photography, I need to continuously explore new ideas and themes, or I will get bored rather quickly. Shooting the same scenes over and over again... no, that is definitely not for me.
Reading the posts on this thread - some of you are just plain mean! UHH used to be a fairly friendly community when I signed up as a member years ago. Doesn't seem like that anymore. Especially the last few months.
