Ha! Been to quite a few and the reality varies ...

Ha! .....

I had the same reaction to a few as well - been there, gotta get in before or go after the bus people!

I loved the leaning tower of Pisa. However that may have had something to do with the fact that I visited at 1am and had it to muselm aside from a sleeping Caribineiri.

The Great wall was super too. You just had to walk a few towers to get the crowd to clear out.

Bit like getting a photo of the Acropolis without scaffolding

A better title would be "professional camera angles vs amature camera angles"

My Dad (who used to be a profezsional photographer) is able to take amazing photos of places that you just know are crowded with tourists just outside of frame.

Sorry, but I disagree. The ones I know are nothing like that and honestly, the Great Wall is so blatantly photo shopped that it isn't even near to believable.

Only today on this forum I posted this pic of Maldives:



I'm a cough photographer and that is very real.

My wife is currently in Santorini and she is a worse photographer than I. Here's what she has sent me ...



and this one ...



Does not look like the rubbish in that article.

I hate overcrowded tourist spots, but that article was cough. Photo shopped to make the bad seem infinitely worse. A media beat up for most of it.

Exactly swanning_it; what could have been a relatively interesting article was junk. The comments after each “comparison” stated as much too. I liked the “reality” shot of Copacabana Beach... during a major musical event! Wow, it’s crowded.
