A quiet island trip completely changed my mind about where to take photos
I used to only shoot in big, popular cities for my photography hobby. Then I visited a small island that hardly anyone talks about. The peace and raw beauty there let me capture moments I never could in crowded places. Now I look for similar hidden spots for all my photo projects. It made my creative work much more meaningful.
Turns out my city photos were less art and more visual spam. @valw69 is right about chaos, because my old shots just look like I was trying to hide bad framing with crowds. Quiet places force you to actually see the shot, which is way more satisfying.
