The photo of one of my family in law whatsapp group which we also framed in our corridor is a photo of me with my partner and her sister in a scenic historical street with a dog peeing at a light pole on the right corner. Another almost identical picture was taken without the dog but we just decided the "imperfect" one was better.
If I wanted a picture of a momument without tourists, I could just buy the damn postcard or download it somewhere.
- rootusrootus 2y ago> Am I the only one Definitely not. Relatedly, the best advice I ever got about taking pictures of not-people is to put people in them. There are countless pictures, many of them better than I will ever get, of almost every mountain/building/whatever in the world. Put yourself, friends, and family in the shot, or it will be forgettable. We just went through my late mother's albums of pictures a few months ago, and ultimately we ended up discarding a rather large number of them because they were just random pictures of landscapes.
- asyx 2y agoThe target audience is influencers that make the Apple look and feel of photos the default. They want pretty pictures and perfect scenes and then you have a bunch of teenagers going for the $1000+ iPhone instead of a Pixel for half the price with better AI but a different post processing pipeline
