I need more ideas! Everybodys uploads are original and fun and i feel like a copy-cat sometimes. Any tips or tricks or ideas? Please reply and let me know!
Hi Haley,
That's what alot of this site is about! Everyone getting ideas from one another! Whether it be outddor, indoor, potrait, macro, abstract, etc.... I think everyone here takes away some lessons from everyones photos, so don't think of yourself as a copycat......no one here would ever say that about anyone else! Hang in there, and just take photos.....The main reason of the site is to help promote your skills, and even enhance them! And my ONE rule I always say to myself.....anyone can take a picture....you can make the picture a photograph!
Don't feel like a copy cat, think of it as inspiration. My photography skills have come on leaps and bounds since I started here and a lot of that is from seeing what I like in other people's shots (and just playing around with photoshop)
Hi Haley.
Like the 365ers have said, pretty much everything is inspiration (and there's nothing new under the sun). The thing is, this is your personal project, so do it for yourself. Chances are, you will find an extremely receptive audience on this site. Any 10 of us could stand and take a picture of, oh, let's say the Empire State Building, but each picture would be our own, you know? Doesn't matter what the next guy/gal does. As to "everybodys uploads are original" I don't think that is strictly true on this site BUT then people interpret their 365 project how they want. Some are going to be very strict in taking & uploading everyday, some aren't. Some of these people are extremely talented and every picture is a masterpiece (I really mean that) but some of us are hacks. Doesn't matter. If you manage to take 365 pics you would not have otherwise taken, you will probably get a lot more out of it than just having taken 365 pics (time will tell). I think this site provides people with the opportunity to go on a journey, so have some fun. I like your 4th picture of the hole in the fence - I might just "copy cat" that myself when I am short of ideas.
I understand what you're saying! It's so easy to see someone with a photo and it sparks an idea for yourself. I think in such a close community like this, it's easy to do, but you can get away from it..
Get a bowl, hat or something with a deep well. Write down random words on paper, 30 different ones, or have your friends think of some words.. draw out a paper every day and go on a photo hunt. :) It may help you find your own style.
You're pretty darn original sweets :) No worries you're def gonna think of something new :) and, you could do stuff indoors or like pictures of like school functions :)
