Hi there what do you do when you have been wanting to be out takeing photos, but work gets in the way, and when you finally get the chance you have lost the impetus to do it. have been thinking about just booking a days workshop to kickstart things again but not a 100% sure as there are so many to choose from any ideas?:thinking:
 
Been there in the past so know how you feel

Set yourself a project to do and let people know what you intend to do. Go out and actually do it and then post the results onto the forum for c&c (that should motivate you to make sure that you think about the images you are submitting).

Simples :cool:
 
If your struggling for time how about something you can set up and experiment with at home?

Lots of macro stuff, water drops, incents sticks etc..
 
thanks for the quick replies,time isn't so much of an issue now as work has slacked off now, i like the idea of a project will give it some thought also the macro
 
Yeah I definitely reckon try a few genres of photography that you have never done - for me it would be high speed stuff, off camera flash, light painting, water drops, shooting models etc etc

An 'urbex' trip (which I'd not done before) with a friend was a nice exciting thing to help get my mojo back when I was having a bad spell, and I was really pleased with the pics too.
 
have had a think about your suggestions, and done a quick google for some ideas one which apealed was photograph 100 strangers it seems quite a lot but spread out over the winter months is quite apealing. off camera flash is something i haven't much experience of but would like to learn more,and maybe incorporate it into the 100 strangers project.
many thanks for the ideas.
 
It's worth keeping an eye on the meeting place section and wandering along to a local meet. Getting out and about with fellow togs soon gets the creative juices going.
 
I think everyone goes through this phase, I recently started posting an image a day on facebook because I get loads of good feedback which has no real C+C but has plenty of feel good factor lol
 
thank you for all the tips, i think i am going to set myself a project for the winter months maybe try a camera club as well and take it from there.
 
I find that I need to plan a photo day in advance in order to have motivation. Almost every time that I find free time it's because something was cancelled and I just don't want to put in the work to fill that time slot. Plan in advance so you have something to look forward to.
