Change your prespective (Part 1)

Vacation photography is nothing less than interesting.  The biggest problem that people face when taking pictures on a trip is you are going to see the same things that others have already seen, and most likely you are going to be places at times when the light isn't always the best. Take the Eifel tower for example.  There are over 54 Thousand pictures in the area that are geotagged.  I have to admit some of them are more interesting than others, but enjoy the towers and take a quick snapshot to remember it by - preferably with your friends and family in the picture. Now that being said, I love to take pictures.  It is very difficult seeing something that my eye wants to save and not taking a picture.  The difference that I like to add when taking a picture is to get a different angle.  When were touring the Greek city of Delphi's museum,  I got a chance to do an experiment that I want to share with others. The following pictures are all of the same statue/bust.  If I showed them to you one at a time, they would like like different statues.  The key thing is to look at what you are taking a picture of and try and capture in a 2D world what the 3D artist might have been trying to convey. By simply changing your perspective, you can get a wide variety of interesting images that even people who were with you will not recognize until you tell them where it was.  Have fun.
