Trying to take a picture every day (even if I'm not stressing about actually doing a 365 project) is a daunting task. My life really isn't that interesting, and trying to think of something to shoot that I haven't already shot a thousand times before can sometimes leave me wanting to scrap the whole thing. (And I don't mean "scrap" as in what I used to do with yesterday's ribbons, either.) So when I saw a post on the 2Peas Photography Board about a challenge called "26 Things: A List for Inspiration," I thought it might be a great way to get those creative juices flowing! It's basically just what the title says: a list of 26 random things to photograph in a specific time frame, in this case, during January and February. Some of the things are kind of easy (like #1 - Fuzzy - which was my picture of Lucky from a few days ago), but some of the other ones (like #21 - Frantic) are going to be a bit more challenging. It'll be fun to think outside the box, though, and see what I can come up with for each one! Today's is #5 - Opening. Yes, That's Molly snoozing on her favorite blanket. In taking this picture, I noticed that there's a piece of something inside this lens that I can't seem to get out. Bummer. But it's not showing up on any pictures that I've taken with it, so I guess I won't worry about it for now.
A wonderful shot. I can relate to this post. I am doing a 365 and trying very much not to stress about it. My every day life is soo uninteresting unless I go somewhere and do something. Same routine through out the week. I come up with things at home when I do not go out anywhere new. Doing this makes me worry that I will soon run out of things to shoot. SIGH!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea!! I would have never ever thought of that! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteI am too struggling to shoot 365. I can NEVER find something to shoot.
Very neat interpretation! I have one for opening - but it's a little depressing. I really like the colors in this shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly regular with my blog posts and pictures - but 365 would be very ambitious for me. Very nice picture - hope you can figure the foreign object with your lens - that can be very frustrating.
ReplyDeletethat's a cute shot, I've tried to play with a lens off camera before, it can be tricky to balance all! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. And post. I've made a list of p365 ideas in my notebook for those times when I'm not feeling terribly inspired. And I'm totally letting myself use my iPhone for when I'm really not feeling like taking out the big camera.
ReplyDeleteYou made me giggle with the scrap but not with ribbon comment. Cute
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
