I think many of us can identify with this, I certainly do. Like anything, to improve, you need to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone. We all get into a habit of shooting the same things, in much the same way. I started off the year with a plan to shoot more, which is essential in order to improve. The reality has not been this. I had hoped to find some more regular shooting, coupled with a little paid work to help fund the hobby, but I have eased off that more recently as life takes over. With the colder months approaching, it's time to dust off the lighting kit and get the studio back out, hopefully should help reignite my enthusiasm. I've discovered another little pursuit/hobby this summer too and guess I've been focussing all my resources and money on that so can't do it all
