    Welcome to the Wex Official Thread on Talk Photography!

    To me, if the value in a photo is from it's uniqueness then we should put down our cameras now. If however it's the opportunity for us to create something, I'm happy to see another picture of a kingfisher or a racing car in a panning shot.

    Interesting perspective. Perhaps they want an image like they've seen, but their own rather than someone else's? Otherwise all landscape photography should stop right now.
