Are You Taking a Variety of Shots?

First to give he credit where credit is due. I read this article on having a more interesting and well rounded images on DPS. And then I realized I hardly ever gave it a thought.

We’ve all sat through a fellow photographer’s presentation from his or her latest trip to [insert location here], and although the images may have been good, or even fantastic, after the 10th or 12th landscape in a row, enough is enough, right?  The idea is to keep the viewer’s interest by presenting images that show a variety of the distinctive characteristics of a destination, or even a particular subject.

Be  it landscape or birds 😀 the result is the same, monotony. I am not sure I will create a shot list or even if I try I would be able to go very far but I am certainly aware that I need to look for variety in my pictures.

PS. the picture was taken from my cell phone from my car last year when it was raining cats and dogs.

    The only thought that I give about pics in my blog posts is that it should bring out the essense of the place I am writing about!!!

    I like both ways … selection of subjects doesn’t mean monotony. At times too many things also gets the readers lost. I like blogs where people share their experiences and thoughts rather than technical aspects of travel, tourism, photography or similar. I feel we lose the personal touch. This is just my opinion 🙂
