Finding something new to photograph

Finding something new to photograph

After the revelations of the other day, it may not come as any surprise that I am a bit bored with what I have been taking photos of. I really need to start finding something new to photograph.

It is something that I have thought about for some time. Though the feelings I talked about in my last post should be an indication of why some of that might be happening.

I suspect that part of it is also because of the weather. Summer is horrible for taking photos. The harsh light drives me crazy. I know I have talked about this before.

I am also bored with the city I think. Or perhaps the city along the river. I always seem to be taking photos of the same things in the same places.

I need to start finding some new subjects. I am not sure where yet, but it is something I need to think about. I want to challenge myself more.

This is a photo of the Seafarers Bridge, and not a new subject. I have no idea how many times I have taken photos of it. Way too many to count.

One thing I have been doing is playing around with my processing and seeing what else I can do and learn.

I am going to be opening it up again for new members shortly, but I wanted to share with you some of the experiences that a few have had.

Working in a different way

Here is another post about what I’m planning on doing, but this time I do think it is time that I started working in a different way. I have been realising quite a few things recently, and I have come to the realisation that I am being taken advantage of.

Floral Friday – Bunches of Tulips at the Flower Show

It is that time of the week again for Floral Friday and this week I thought I might show some bunches of tulips that I photographed at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Since last week I showed one, I thought it might be nice to see some that were growing there. Almost makes me want to plant tulips in my garden this year.  However, first, a little bit of business.

Floral Friday and The Fine Art Way

Here we are, ready for Floral Friday, and it is also Good Friday. We don’t really celebrate Easter in our house, beyond it being a great excuse for lots of chocolate Easter eggs. I also love hot cross buns. Today I also want to talk to you about a new membership site I have started, The Fine Art Way. Something I’m excited about and I hope that some of you will join me.
