Change the Angle

Take an over-visited tourist icon like the Eiffel Tower. While some “real travelers” would tell you to stay away, I have a soft spot for the once-condemned radio tower, but it doesn’t involve taking distant pictures of it adorning the Paris skyline. My Eiffel Tower memories all came at unusual angles: photos of the intricate metal structure from inside the elevator, or pictures from underneath the legs looking up.

Making an effort to see things in a way others don’t not only gives you more memorable pictures, you’ll also get more out of your travels.

I love taking pictures of bridges as we drive under them.

They may never impress other people, but they make me happy!

I suspect I would enjoy your Eiffel Tower pictures, too.
