Have you ever feel that you seem to lose your creativity when taking photos? It does happen to me once in a while... Perhaps its because of work... What do you do when it happens?

True! It is like your creative juices have been dried up. U no longer make a smashing pictures. Just lie low. Do not do anything. It has happened to me almost billion times. What do i do? I just leave the photography for a week or a month forget that i am a photographer and then after month surprisingly i find myself all over again in the form. Try this. |

Man-o-man are you correct. Some weekends I am in a vacuum and cannot get my creative juices flowing. Other times I have all kinds of ideas, just no time to make them happen:) |

good to know i'm not the only one...!! for me, it happens when i put myself under pressure to get a great shot of something or someone, i'm concentrating so much on getting that one shot, that i miss the oppourtunity to be creative with what is around me. i have to eat some chocolate - the remedy for everything - and take a break, put down my camera, listen to music, or read the paper, just to take my mind off it!! |

Just like writers can run into writer's block, so can photographers run into photographer's block. It happens to me. That's when I realize I need a break to let my batteries recharge. I don't worry about finding a way out of it, and something often comes along to inspire me. Like yesterday. I was out taking some final photographs of the baby ducks and geese as they grow up (they are almost full adults now in appearance). I felt that creative block creeping in, so I went on home. On the way home I decided I wanted to stop at the pond by the hospital to take a closer look around, as I haven't done that yet. When I got there, I saw that the water lilies were in bloom. As I was getting pictures of them, a Belted Kingfisher came screaming through the scene. THAT is what sparked my creative juices flowing again. I ran out of memory card room, so had to come back home. I spent another hour in my own back yard sneaking up on young rabbits and being stalked by a deer. It was fun. :) |

Thanks Aryaimagery! I guess there are times when i DO compare myself with others. As a result will get upset when i cant match them.... Indeed if i enjoy what i am doing, i will be fine! |

I believe I just overcame such phase, Last One month; I didn't try my camera at all. Then I started as a beginner and start working from scratch. Taking lots of test shots, experimenting Shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Again, feeling like learning photography from the beginning. I am consciously not comparing myself with anybody, including my previous works and skills. Again, I am discovering the joy of photography. As long as, I am enjoying what I am doing, I am fine. I will start thinking and Creative thinking, I know. |

I started photography roughly about 3 years ago. Always wanted to leave memories at different stages of my life through these photos. I am always on the look out for compositions and angles that will make great images! Do leave me a comment when viewing my photos. I really appreciate that in order to keep improving. Cheers! (^_^)
