New. Again. And, Undermotivated.

January 7th, 2012
So, I'm reviving my 365, for the first time since October of last year, I've been wanting to pick it back up since my failure to follow through, I'm thinking I should experiment with different sorts of photographs

-Extended Exposure
-Golden Hour
-Etc...

What advice do you guys have that I should look into?

Take on a challenge...like A-Z or think up a "challenge" that will suit you. Several of the challenges and themes I've done on my year have taking me outside of "my box" and been fun learning experiences.

I always browse pictures and techniques and I try to make some of them (bokeh, panning, Double exposures, extended exposure) right now I want to do some self portrait s of me levitating :)

Thank you very much, I think I'll set up some challenges and such. Maybe Levitation will one of my next experiences. =D

@wynndeauxpaign @catalfonso yeah yeah yeah.... Levitation.... I want I want... Please go do one so I can see how it turns out.....

I saw some people riding broom sticks the other day and they just looked like a heap of fun...

I am going to have to do some of those types of shots now...

It looks challenging, a lot of reliance on the self-timer, it would seem like. I'll try it and upload one eventually.

I am lucky working in London as I normally just wander round till I find something to shoot.
Or I browse the Internet for ideas, or what I normally do though is run round in a blind panic, shooting anything.

@wynndeauxpaign @agima It is a little difficult.. I tried today for the first time, and even thought taking the picture is easy (kind of) removing the props with PS and making it looks good is the difficult part.. :P. I'll try tomorrow and if I have any luck I'll post the picture :)

@catalfonso I am going to have to give it a try in the next week.
January 7th, 2012
Honestly, I look at other peoples pictures (OPP anyone? LMAO!) and get inspired that way.

@johnnyfrs
That's what I do; realize I need a photo still and start freaking out. xD

@Catafonso
Can't wait to see your take on it, I think the initial photo's gonna be the hardest part for me. I'll sit there and think about how to do it for ever.

@jenp
That's the technique I use when I hit writers block, pretty much, I never even though to apply it to pictures. I feel sort of silly now.

If you are having trouble choosing themes for your project the Digital Photography School website posted a list of 53 weekly themes for 2011. You could use it as a guide if you're feeling undermotivated or uninspired.
