Testing 1 2 3 Weeks

posted on 8th of march, 2012

Tonight I read a newly posted article, it made me think about what I should be shoot and, why I'm shooting it.

Then I came up with an idea to expand my portfolio.
Each week of the month the month I will be focussing on a different subject, and I will be using the month of March, as a experimental month to see how it works.

I am starting a new subject every Sunday of the month. Now since there is 3 weeks left of march I will only be shooting 3 subjects.

Here is a break down of the subjects for the next 3 weeks

Week 1. Food and drink
Week 2. Animals or maybe people? Still haven't decided for sure on the one yet.
Week 3. Night/landscapes.

I really hope that this works out and, boost my portfolio along with sales up.

Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes. It's not really my high point lol.

Note: The week subjects aren't official yet, but i think that what they'll be.

	Posted by Thewildside on March 15, 2012 Her'es a quick update. Week ones subject is animal both pets and wildlife and yes i am keeping my open for the unexpected. Now i was going to only shoot my weeks subject but i felt to restricted, So i am just mainly focusing on the subject and shooting other things here and there. Really though im just happy to be out taking pictures again.
	Posted by Cleaper on March 12, 2012 Great idea! I could do with planning some subjects myself...sometimes it is hard to have the creative inspiration but if you actually plan to shoot a specific subject then you can really concentrate on getting some decent shots. May be worth choosing subjects that you wouldn't normally do to see how it turns out. I do agree with Jdanne though as it always good to be ready for the unexpected. Nice shots by the way.
	Posted by Jdanne on March 11, 2012 My opinion: Planing is important, but you shouldn't plan too much. Just let it happen! Sometimes you get things in front of your lens you didn't think about and suddenly your inner bell rings and you have to pull out the camera and press the shutter! Keep your eyes and your mind open for the unexpected - even when you shoot "planned" photos.
	Posted by Thewildside on March 09, 2012 Thanks every one :). I think one of my biggest problems is i find it hard to like my own pictures. When i was in Florida i spent a day taking pictures of birds mainly, i took over about 350 pictures and only liked about 10 (if that) then i felt only 3 where worth submitting, luckly all 3 got accepted. @Kphotos6411: i would but i don't have 50 photos up yet. @Peanutroaster: I saw some of those pictures, i really like them. @Calyx22: Thank you :), that's my favorites that day. thank and don't worry i will :)
	Posted by Calyx22 on March 09, 2012 I think this is a great idea. I need to do something similar myself as I feel I'm sort of in a rut and need to start producing again. I just need some inspiration. Love your cormorant shot. Best wishes to you, and please update again and let us know how your planned shots turn out. :)
	Posted by Peanutroaster on March 09, 2012 Similar strategy works for me. Recently I focused on Easter and Gardening and produced a bunch of shots.
	Posted by Egomezta on March 09, 2012 Nice strategy... Good luck.
	Posted by Kphotos6411 on March 09, 2012 If you use children and pets for a theme you could enter in the Assignments contest. Good luck.
	Posted by Teabum on March 09, 2012 It's a good idea. You might find some new areas that will become your favorite hobby :)
	Posted by Karenfoleyphotography on March 09, 2012 Good luck with your experiment, you'll have to let us know how well it is working for you, K-
	Posted by Banol2007 on March 09, 2012 Good idea! The mountain has one pick and different ways to it. Keep uploading & good luck!
