Since its still beginning of new year, I wanted to know who has some photography related plans for 2013?
Being here, looking at pictures from all around the world and absolutely different points of view on any given subject is very inspirational. So I have a little notebook, where I write all the ideas I wanna try, such as:
- Taking picture of rail tracks
- Taking more hight-key, low key pictures
- Taking more outside of the house pictures
- Making at least one HDR photo
- Making an infrared picture
- Peonies! I want to take picture of peonies!
- Practice more in b&w photography
- Oh, oh! And the one Im particularly excited about!!! I think that I want to do some self portrait related project, maybe not 365, but still long, time-wise, I have quite a lot of ideas already and just need to start! =)) So make sure to look for that one! =)) Did I say that??? =))) ah well =))
So what are your ideas and goals in photography? =)
For me it is about changing my photography business so that I am ore teaching. what does that mean for the project?
It means that the photo I will be taking will have a purpose that I can explain how I took the shot and importantly how the lighting was for that shot.
So I guess my plans are to have photos that educate people.
For me it is to capture my life thoughts and ideas for 2013. Though photography with illustration........ whether thats a quick scribble or a detailed drawing.
For me it's about becoming a photographer. I've been a graphic design since graduating 30 years ago. A year ago my partner and I moved from big city Sydney to a cottage by a lake surrounded by mountains on the South Isaland of New Zealand.
I've always had a passion for landscape and for photography. A couple of years ago I discovered the work of Alex Stoddard on Flickr. His 365 Day project on Flickr opened up a whole new window on landscape photography for me. Starting his project as a teenager, with little knowledge of photography, his creative approach to landscape and photgraphy made him, in a short time, lauded around the world.
Like Alex, I'm in this to practise, to push myself and to share with a community of like minded people.
To learn to play my camera like a musical instrument
To stop and capture moments rather than pass them by
To not worry about being judged
To balance the variety
To have photography be a catalyst for a change in my life
To have fun
I am looking to learn. This is why I joined this site. I want to learn how to use my camera to it's full potential. I want to change the way I see things. I don't want to miss any opportunities along the way so will be taking my camera everywhere. I want to have fun.
I feel really grateful to have found this site. My friend and I, although we are already close like sisters, have really bonded through the 365 experience. I can't wait to look back on my year and (hopefully) see myself step up from just snapping a picture to taking beautiful photographs. I really enjoy looking at everyone's work, so thank you for sharing your photographs and you view of the world with us. :)
My plans for this year are to learn how to use my camera more by trying new things. Ideally I would really like to become a better photographer. There are so many things I would like to try or try again and I am grateful to this site for providing the inspiration and the opportunity to learn with a very friendly atmosphere. One good thing is I have a whole year in my project to work on it... :) Even then it does not end.
@mariyakey I too have a notebook where I jot down things I want to take pictures. It also includes how to's on some things that I have learned, and what I have done with some others.
@heidit very well thought plan, Heidi! learning camera controls oh this is top priority for me as well, cos at the moment I have a feeling that its the camera is the owner, not me=)))
This year I hope to learn a lot about photography by myself and with some help and inspiration of this site ofcourse.
I'm saving for a nice camera and hope to buy it soon, for now I'm using a small, simple digital camera.
.I definatly hope to take some selfies, as I always hate it when my picture is taken. I need to get over it.
The idea about the notebook sounds great, I think I'm going to try that too!
I'm going to create my photography bucket-list (only hot air balloon listed so far). Also there will be a blacklist for cliche shots I am trying to avoid - no photos of keyboards, coffee-cups, door keys etc. I hope that taking photos daily will open up my imagination and makes me more creative in general =)

just taking this one thing at a time really and hoping to learn how to use my camera
there are a few things I want to do though:
smoke
water droplets
bulb exposure of a water fall
I probably need a bucket list but at this point I don't know what I don't know
what?
And good luck with all these plans and ideas! =))
PS - my bucket list is huge. :)
