A Boring Image (II)

I came across this post from a few years ago ...

A Boring Image

Sometimes a scene is so mundane that you just feel compelled to shoot it... or is that just me ?!? Mundane? by Ash Smith, on Flickr

www.talkphotography.co.uk

It reminded me of the thousands of pointless pictures I've taken.
Here's one from not that long ago.
The only redeeming feature is that it's unedited and shot on film.
Feel free to add any other boring pictures, it could turn into a book!

If you live there I agree it could be viewed as boring, however, if you went there on a once in a lifetime trip...................

Or even as a scene setter for a bigger story?

Boringness is in the eye of the beholder.

I actually think that's anything but boring. If you look at the architectural style;e of the buildings, there is a great juxtaposition of the 70's modernistic and the 21st century glass and steel, linked by the bridge, and the slight tint in the image makes it seem like a modern version of sepia?

I live by the banks of the River Don here in Aberdeen.
Personally I think its a jewel in our city's crown.
I often take the same shots and think to myself "How Boring!!"
However, it has encouraged photographers from the other side of the city and around about to visit the area and they go home chuffed to bits.
I think familiarity rears its ugly head with me.

OK, I'll play. Here's one I thought was vaguely interesting at the time, of the River Thames flowing under a couple of bridges. As you might be able to tell from the title, I set up a separate Flickr album called "Scrapbook" for this kind of snap-it-and-see photo.

I really like it and it looks like an old painting to me! Love the colors too, that's what I sometimes aim at while applying Photoworks filters, and the scene also reminds me of the Millenium bridge somehow (been rewatching Harry Potter lately )

It's taken from the Millenium Bridge, isn't it?

It is taken from the Millenium Bridge.
Some of the previous comments have made me think it's not as boring as I thought.
This one is from the same roll of film and is definitely boring.

I also take boring shots more so that it’s digital. Unless you shoot to get paid by a client does it really matter. In fact I have wished at times that I took more boring photos of places as nothing stays the same for ever and my memory gets worse, year by year.
