I think I have the same idea many of you seem to impart.
That is, I do have some original images now and there isn't anything holding me back,
it's just that when I go shooting I have a very predictable style.
No soaring views, or uplifting patterns or just you know,
zip and verve.
Just really everyday scenes of everyday events.
I want more.
My heart races when I'm shooting sometimes and I'm overwhelmed by what I'm seeing.
I bring the image home and open it and bwah-bwhunh there is a clear picture of a cormorant, or pelican or bobcat or hills or flowers or rocks or trees or butterflies...
Just boring sort of.
Behind the curve so to say.
I'm really happy with macro, and can see there are untold ways to shoot, I only know how to do one way sort of is what I'm saying.
I like the project suggestion above.
I'd go shoot just the sunset or sunrise or tidal shifts or any other thing I've done if I thought it might help.
I think surrounding myself with more creative types would too.
OK so lost dog looking for friends should be the title of this thread.
Hey thanks you all for the thoughts.
