problem with such themes is that some places have nice architecture / culture and some places dont, or at least not as impressive as others. I find the architecture and culture in my region rather boring for instance.

yeah but see that this way, the challenge to take a photo that exalts architecture even if that one's not from a legendary mind.

SOMEONE WILL SHOOT A CAT or another animal, claiming it's a portrait of them in a pathetic attempt to personify and humanize this inferior creature!!! 99% chance. They'll even add "This is Bob, my fat, Garfield-look-a-like, cute-for-two-minutes-then-horribly-monotonous friend"

Either that, or a Jesus-look-a-like tortilla chip or cracker.



But you have classical buildings that cannot be compared in prettyness and exotic-ness to what's available elsewhere. It would turn into a 'zomg what a pretty photo of X famous building!' type of contest, even if the photo is crooked, has horrible exposure (with a white sky), and has uninteresting composition.


U got me ...
btw I agree with Furia-az, there are many aspects that affect the architecture.

What is wrong with you euros, you never appreciate the awesome places that you live. I wish we could trade places.


I vote for culture, or possibly citylife. God portraits and flowers sound so dull D:

I still vouch culture! Simple enough to understand yet diverse enough for us to come up with unique photos!

Exactly..we all have some sort of local culture, no matter how dull it may be xD
