I am a SAHM to 2 little girls, i live on a small property, we go walking 3 times a week, my partner normally works long hours but has been off work after a motorbike accident.
With him home i haven't really had a chance to take a lot of photos, he's not overly supportive of my 'wasting time' so i have kind of lost my mojo.

He's having an op on friday this week and is HOPEFULLY back at work some time next week so i would love for someone to give me a bit of a theme, something to get my mind thinking without working too hard to get the juices flowing.

I enjoy taking pics of scenery, greenery and my kids i use my iPhone or my little P&S.
If you could take a look at some of my pics and maybe work out some ideas for me would be GREAT.

Even a 1 word theme or a full idea?

What about recruiting your daughters to help? You can have them set up scenes with their toys for you. Then you can take the shots and play with some editing techniques? This way it's a family project for the week! I'm sure your girls would enjoy this too!

You could always do an alphabet theme, numbers theme or colours theme.

Emotions are always good to capture. Plus, new ways of looking at objects around the house. You could also do everyday items but take photos that make them abstract. Good luck!

Worm's eye views are fun. We did a theme on that last year and I had a blast. I also would like to second Kathy A's suggestion of alphabet. I have done that twice and really enjoyed it.

Thank you everyone, i am thinking i might go with the alphabet but try and work outside of my normal kids & flowers :)
So am thinking i will try and work with some of the girls toys.

So from today i am starting with A (logical right :p ) and am thinking i might run each letter for a couple of days, to work my brain a little.
Today's IS a child but i have an idea for another shot but want to wait for my other half to be out of my hair :p



Heres an attempt at something different from the other day aswell
