Hi all
Wondered if anyone experiences the same from time to time with their photography.
I seem to lately have spats of motivation to get out there and explore new places to get new photos. I usually shoot landscapes and buildings.
Even after acquiring some new kit, lately i seem to hit a plateau of getting out there. Im finding this troubling especially this time of year where there are some really good shots to be had with morning fog and red skies. I see other people's photos and think that i can never get close to the quality of some of their photos.
I work full time in quite a demanding job role and often find i use my days off to have time to myself and not run around chasing photos, let alone get up early to capture morning golden hour.
If i do get a chance, i find i dont have the patience to trawl through my shots on lightroom. I usually post the best shots to social media like Instagram but even find that a chore - only getting a small amount of feedback or response. I really am not a great lover of social media but it is a bit demotivating when you see photos with thousands of likes and photographers with thousands of followers.
I started to try selling some shots to sites like Etsy to try and give myself some extra drive but find the market for selling photos online saturated and again have had little response.
I would say my photos are of a good standard- not the best of course and i think my photography has come a long way but i am finding it difficult to find something interesting to do with my photography and get back out there when i have the energy.
Would be interesting to hear from anyone with a similar problem and how you overcame it.
