Jumpstart your creativity
Now that some of that winter cold has passed, it’s time to take some pictures! If you find yourself hard-pressed to find a subject matter, here’s a little trick that I use with great results. I give myself an ‘assignment’. Typically, I will confine myself to a small area and give myself a hard time frame in which to come up with at least 10 great photos.
The shot above is from one of these personal photo assignments. Is it going to win a photo contest? No – but it’s better than any photo I got while sitting on the couch watching TV. In this particular instance, I gave myself an hour and a 2 square block area of downtown Clearwater, FL and came away with a full memory card of images – many more than the required 10 great photos.
So next time you find yourself in a rut, give yourself an assignment! Not only is this a great way to hone your skills, but there are plenty of things to photograph if you look hard enough – you just need to get out there and work it!
