It is likely that you stopped taking selfies while traveling and started focusing on landscape and monument photography because you realized that the attraction you were photographing became a background in your selfies. You may have also become more concerned with capturing the beauty of the place you were visiting rather than just taking a picture of yourself. Additionally, studies have shown that taking a few photos and videos can enhance your memory of an experience because you spend time thinking about how to frame the shot, what you would like to include, and the feeling of the moment you are trying to capture. This is distinct from taking non-stop photos and videos without thought. By focusing on landscape and monument photography, you may have been able to better capture the essence of the place you were visiting and create lasting memories.
