We all love photography, but that does not necessarily mean we love photography all the time. Sometimes, you lose interest in photography, and that is ok, and this great video discusses what you can do when that happens.
Coming to you from James Popsys, this helpful video discusses what you can do when you feel a bit worn out by photography. Personally, there are few things more frustrating to me than seeing a beautiful day with the perfect weather, only to grab my camera or drone and spend a few hours trying to make something work, only to come home and realize that I just could not get anything worthwhile. It can certainly be a very discouraging feeling. I think it is important to learn to manage your expectations when heading out. In particular, if you expect to come home with great shots every time, you will inevitably be disappointed at some point. On the other hand, if you shift the way you think away from the results and more toward the enjoyment of the experience, you might find the overall journey more rewarding and less fatiguing during the less successful moments. Check out the video above for Popsys' full thoughts.
Weak thumbnail. Show me a freeze frame of the camera in the middle of being crushed. :P
Sadist! 🤪
My better half asks me... did you at least have fun tromping around in the woods? I have to abandon the booboo lip to concede... yessss. So it goes in the Zen of Photography as therapy for me.
Oh honey, you're in the wrong field if you can't take constructive criticism. There's a reason people ask others to critique their work, to learn and get better.
Got my first camera in 1968. 51 years is long enough for me.
It's totally different from when I started.
Would not hurt my feelings if I never shot another photo, or video.
I really think the skill kind of drained out of the profession when digital arrived and you could review what you shot instantly.
