What photos are you tired of seeing?

[theantiquetiger]

I'm not talking about on this forum.

I am a member of several Facebook Louisiana photography groups and a member of a brick and mortar photography club here in Baton Rouge. With all the great stuff to photograph in Louisiana (swamps, New Orleans, plantations, etc), it seems 95% of the images posted are of a bird, butterfly, squirrel, or flower in their backyard. It's seems to be the same people, who post more photos than most, and that's all they shoot. I don't understand this.

I know, get out and shoot what you want, but it gets ridicules sometimes. I just feel like if you want to photograph birds, expand beyond your fence. We have some majestic birds here in Louisiana, bald eagles, owls, etc. And don't get me started on flowers (what you do, have to low crawl for miles, slowly sneaking up on it?)

Ok, I will get off my soap box now.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, because everyone here seems to have a wide variety of images they shoot.

BTW, if you are looking for a good photography group on Facebook, my favorite is "World in Black & White". They have some amazing photographers on there.
