DJY Photography founder Dexter Yarbrough advices amateur photographers to avoid such a bummer by arming themselves with cameras all the time. This should be the case especially when exploring familiar territories.

Photographers are mostly likely to take for granted the details that a familiar street or town offer. What seems to be ordinary should not be the case for photographers with a knack for creativity. With ordinary moments comes a wide spectrum of opportunities for an artistic capture. For example, a man resting on a bench, people running for covers when rain suddenly falls, children playing in the park, and a bus driver interacting with passengers are great photo opportunities.
Dexter Yarbrough notes that an excellent photo has editorial value, that is, it tells a story with a touch of drama in it. Photographers have to be always ready when taking fleeting moments like these.

Scouring for new locations is not necessary when taking unique shots. The scenes that are happening at the moment may be totally different from those that occurred an hour ago.
Close up shots have great dramatic appeal especially when shooting portraits of old people. The creases and lines on their faces tell stories of their old age.
Lastly, taking as much photos of one subject as possible will be an advantage. This is a good way of making sure to have the chance to get that perfect photo.
