Finding the good spots for pictures and drawing inspiration:

The art of taking a picture is sometimes lost if the scenery does not match your style of photography. That is why my recommendation is to always look for what is there, but could not be detected by locals and it is something you like to photograph. That is why I travel. Being able to see something with new eyes always help to freshen the senses. Your pictures will get better and the composition -yes, every picture is a composition- will improve. Experimenting, creating themes, going to special places, all help to improve the quality of the picture.

Here is the photo evidence:

So, go the extra mile. Do your research. Find your style and what you like to take a picture of and try to travel, that is the only way to keep innovating and getting ideas.

That is it. Good luck shooting those pictures!

Hi @PapaSmurf ,

Thanks for sharing your lovely photos! I definitely agree, that it takes some planning and organization before actually going on a photo-shoot. You’ve captured some cool photos with a different view. It’s not always easy to think outside the box, so don’t get discouraged.

Are these places in your city? Do you travel much to photograph different places? Do you use you phone camera?

Hi @DanniS ,

These picture were taken in Istanbul, Turkey. I do a lot of traveling and my primary source of taking pictures is a digital camera.
