Most overphotographed locations?
|
|
Just wondering which locations you think have been done to death. Even better, if you know of any unique angles or creative variations on the norm, please share.
I'll start the list with:
Buachaille Etive Mor, with river in foreground.
What else would you add?

The Buachaille Etive Mor, the London Eye, the Buachaille Etive Mor, the Great Court of the British Museum, Eilean Donon Castle, Ashness Bridge, anywhere there's a wood with bluebells in it, and the Buachaille Etive Mor. Plus I agree with the suggestions already made.
Did anyone mention the Buachaille Etive Mor? Must get that one in.

So, anyone know any original takes on the aforementioned locations?
What's with the "Me too" attitude of heading to exactly the same spot as everyone else, taking the same picture (more or less) and then proudly displaying it?

Simple - in most cases, it's a very photogenic place and a great angle. It's just the overfmailiarity amongst us hardened consumers of images that's the issue.

Before ploughing through all of the replies so far, I would suggest The Queen's View looking over Loch Tummel. Highland council have a contract with a local contractor to fill in all the tripod marks at the viewing platform on a weekly basis.

My neighbours house from my front door step
And like David I would like to know where Buachaille Etive Mor is. Although if it's much further than the house opposite I might have to give it a miss.
Nick your pet hate leaves me bereft of subjects, I specialise in photographing me taking pictures of me in the mirror. That is of course when I'm not photographing the house................Oh dear, time for another wee drop. By the way Will, great news. You were right, I have stopped drinking Gordon's Gin completely. Yes, I know that might be difficult to believe but it is true. So this year could you replace the usual bottle for Bombay Sapphire....please.
B r, it's too dark now to photograph the house opposite.

Re: Most overphotographed locations?

Can't remember where I read the article, it was some time ago, but the author suggested that if you were to gather together all the tourist photographs of the Eiffel Tower, the pile would probably be larger and weigh more than the object itself . . . but that shouldn't stop anyone taking another purely for themselves.
Stangely enough, I was flicking through a book (wish I could remember which one) in the library this afternoon and I came across a photograph of a crossroads in Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the background and I though 'what a nice shot' - but then it was taken by Lee Friedlander and looked similar to many of his taken on similar junctions in American towns . . . apart from the the afore mentioned tower. I suppose we all have some photographers whose work we never tire of 
End of ramble.

So to take Nick's point further - are the places over photographed, or is it just that we have seen too many pics of the places, through looking at too many galleries/books/magazines?

So to take Nick's point further - are the places over photographed, or is it just that we have seen too many pics of the places, through looking at too many galleries/books/magazines?
I think this is probably the case, for me anyway. I'll continue to photograph these places for as long as I continue to enjoy it. I don't force anyone to look at the photos though.

Re: Most overphotographed locations?

Come to think of it, maybe the problem is people who 'push' their pictures too much - posting them all over the place, submitting them to every stock archive they can. I had a look at Alamy the other day, there were loads of very average shots on there I thought. The weak stuff really waters down the good stuff, you have to go through several pages sometimes to find a really good image.

It's annoying when it is obvious. If it is done well and is not obvious then it is fine.

Just wondering which locations you think have been done to death. Even better, if you know of any unique angles or creative variations on the norm, please share.
Interesting. My own photographs are purely intended to give me future pleasure of memory, so I'm not fussed at all how many other people have photographed the scene. Sometimes, I may look at others' images and very often pick out improvements they exhibit over my own photographs at a technical level, and I enjoy learning from that. But I always prefer one of my own pictures - even if it is completely rubbish - to someone else's image of the same scene. The enjoyment comes in recalling other non-visual emotions or feelings that only my photograph can inspire in me.

Before ploughing through all of the replies so far, I would suggest The Queen's View looking over Loch Tummel.
Funnily enough I've just been to a mates house before they go to Fort Bill for a holl, they were showing us some pics of there last outing on their laptop - guess what the desktop wallpaper was?? And to cap it off, they had a calendar of Scotland in their kitchen - and guess what the picture on that was for this month?? Hmmm.. No pics of Buachaille Etive Mor though

Thinking again about the Lee Friedlander photo . . . . . I think the reason I like it so much is because it includes the Eiffel Tower rather than being a photograph of the Tower itself and that's what make the difference.
Two of my Eiffel Tower pictures . . . . .

Yes, but the real McCoy wouldn't produce flare like that.

I'll have you know that's rare flare for that location, it's usually too cloudy.

A far more superior location, imho.
