dude. i don't know what it is about your shots that make them seem so blah... kinda touristy shots.

and this is along the same lines of taking pictures of artwork.

I agree. I felt they seemed tourist-like when I was taking them and even more so after I viewed them.

Is it worth not taking a picture if it's gonna seem tourist-like? Or how do I learn to be more creative to make my pictures more interesting?

I'm afraid to even show you the Chinese Gardens in Portland pictures, talk about tourist like.

show them. how else are you gonna learn. i took some of the chinese garden, too, that were touristy.

that's a good question.

did you hold down the button the whole time or did you actually think about the angles?
