Though I live in a small town with a few shops and restaurants on one main street, I do sometimes wish I lived in London, Paris, New York City, or any city just for the "street" and architecture opportunities.
How do I counter this? By paying even more attention to the things that are available to me, how the light changes their appearance at different times of day. Where and when a person or group of people go to the park, or drink coffee in front of the restaurant, or sit in the alley behind it and smoke.
In this way, I'm able to imagine how to capture those images to best visual, even emotional affect, then I try to do so.
As an example, I captured this image at the nondescript intersection of the two main roads in my town on a snowy evening. This image earned honors from the judge in the photo contest I entered. It's only a mattering of seeing the possible image beyond the familiar
I've seen that one before, great picture. I often complain about the people who live in Yorkshire, Scotland, Skye, Washington State and Oregon. Great subjects make great pictures (assuming a number of other factors), and those guys have an unfair advantage, what with the fog, rain, temperate climate, hills & mountains. It's really just not fair!

I thought the guy's argument was silly. He essentially makes two points: first, that when you use a cropped-sensor body, you get cropped pictures, relative to a full-frame picture using the same lens (well, duh!); and secondly, that the lens may perform differently depending on what camera you put it on (again, duh!). Neither of these observations warrants the title, which suggests that there's something bad about putting a full-frame lens on a crop-sensor body. What he really OUGHT to have said is that you ought to be aware of how each of your lenses will work on the cameras you've got. Well, duh!
I assume that youtubers (is that related to couch-potatoes, which are also a form of tuberous growth?) who use "click-bait" titles are only in it for the money and are trying to waste my time so that goggle will give them money.
