Water droplets, spoon reflections, and fizzy fruit...Oh my!

February 7th, 2014
Since it's winter, I'm having such a hard time finding things to photograph. I've done water droplets, spoon reflections, fizzy fruit,water refraction, etc. Are there any other things I should try that can be set up inside?

Frozen bubbles...stick them in the freezer!

Candles, still life, fruit, flowers, macro, kids, pets, your dinner, the rain, anything off the mundane challenge list, try leaving it till 11.30 pm then your brain goes into panic mode ( well mine does anyway) and something just springs into mind.

There was a thread a while ago that was the 365 must shoot cliche list. We compiled quite a list... http://365project.org/discuss/general/8205/the-unwritten-until-now-photographers-must-do-list

Hope this helps!!

There is beauty in the mundane.Have a fresh look at things around your house.there are great shapes and textures to be found!

Put your camera on the macro setting and get close to everyday objects. You'll be surprised at how different things look

Olive oil on water, google for some good techniques.

Light painting inside. If you have a room that has no windows (like a small guest bathroom or something), you can use fire, flashlights, and some kind of still life. Here's what I did with some apples, a placemat, and a fireplace match in total dark --all set up on top of a toilet! Ha, too much info, I'm sure.



I also go around my house and do lots of angles. Your shades to windows can provide great abstracts and find articles that mean something to you and provide a collection of five things. Stack stuff, cook stuff, well, you get what I'm saying. Have fun!

@markp yes, the 11:30 tip is the best one. I try to push mine to 11:58, so ANYTHING WILL DO! :)

Great question Kim. I am having the same trouble.

Thanks for the suggestion @kali66 !

@cailts , I actually tried putting bubbles in the freezer with no success. Do you have any tips? I get really nice bubbles and they go IN the freezer just fine. When I go to get them out they have always popped. I don't know if I am leaving them in too long or what. Any advice is appreciated.

LOL..@markp . Some days I get to 11:30 and still have nothing! Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks @egad ! Thanks for sharing that list!

Thank you @mzzhope ! I need to take a "fresh" look at things.

@hippiechick13 - I love macros anyway so I need to try that! Thanks.
February 8th, 2014
Thank you @sassyinma . I'll look that up!

LOL @darylo . So funny that you did this on your toilet seat! It's amazing. I love it! I'm going to have to try this, I have a dark bathroom!

@miata2u , I don't know why I am struggling so right now. I did 365 a few years ago and didn't seem to struggle this much. I hate that it's so early into my project and I am struggling for ideas. Maybe we can inspire each other since we are both at a loss for ideas...hahaha!

To me, who live in a tropical country, I will love to shot a train at night, with fog.
