Thread: Slump & 365

I got a wonderful gift of a portrait lens from DH for Christmas and I love it but lately I really just haven't been in the mood for taking pictures (maybe its the weather, cold wet and just yucky). I was thinking that maybe a 365 would get me out of the slump, I don't like carrying my DSLR to work, so if I get inspired there I can get a snap with my phone. Anyone else not feeling it lately?

Ya, same here. I got my 85mm, 1.8 lens about a month ago, and I still haven't gotten my kids out for a photoshoot. It's just plain UGLY around here.

I've been picking up the camera every day for 365, but itching for spring time!

I hear ya on the 'unmotivated' front. DH got me an awesome beauty dish for Christmas and I pulled it out ONCE. :\ really need to get my camera out.

I think your idea of a 365 (or a P52 or something of that nature) is a great way to get moving - start shooting and eventually you will find your grove.

Best,

Me too! We've had a warm winter here so far, so I have gotten outside to shoot quite a bit. But, everything just looks cold and bare. I'm just coming out of a 2 year slump, and am sick at the loss of skills. Pick that thing up and do it!
