I have a secret…come in closer…I’m in a HUGE photography rut right now. My 365 has fallen by the wayside and I go days without picking up my camera. Yikes!! Probably not something I should be telling you guys since I write a blog about photography but it’s true. One of my 365 buddies, Laurie, is participating in a 30 day challenge. I’m late to the game since they started a while ago but I’m going to do it. Anyone want to do it with me?? I’m starting today!! If not, no biggie, I just need to get myself out of this rut.
They are using a challenge created by White Peach Photography. Thank you for this!! I’m sure you have seen it all over Pinterest but I wanted to share it with you. I thought about creating one of my own but why reinvent the wheel :O) Plus, I figure using someone else’s challenge may spark some new creativity :O)
Here is the link to the post if you want to link up and help encourage each other :O)

At Click it Up a Notch you will find tips and tricks to improve your photos one click at a time. 

I’ll do it with you. Clearly we’ve seen what happened w my 365. Maybe 30 days speaks more to my spirit… Plus, I still haven’t taken that self portrait so this is as good a reason as any.

I’ve tried this challenge when it was first introduced in June.
Good luck with the challenge!

Thanks! I’ll have to look into it!! I need a kick in the pants :O)
Oh goodness….This could have been my blog post on my blog. I am struggling with being consistant with my blog as well. I….I….(hope I can do this) am going to say I am in.
This may be my ticket to getting me out of that rut of not being faithful to my blog
Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks or the shout out! I actually fell off of the wagon with this one. I felt it was double work bc I still wanted to capture my 365 daily life stuff in addition. And I hate selfless, and there are like 3 or 4 of them. I think I id like 20 days. Lists like these are great for a rut though! Sorr you are having one, but it happens to everyone! The holidays are coming up, ask for a macro
it always helps with bad days.

You really have me wanting a macro now. Looks like I know what my next lens will be :O) My wallet thanks you :O) he he I don’t know why you don’t like selfies…you are beautiful!
I’ll do it with you! I’ve been in a HUGE rut for the past couple of weeks and am dying to get out of it!

Wow I love your website! I just found it yesterday while searching for camera problems I was encountering with my newish camera and I’m in the same rut as you. I started a 365 day project and am like 50 or more days behind…bad me! So I will try this with you. Also I was wondering how do I subscribe to your website? I don’t want the text only version that it does when I press the subscribe button. I love the graphics on your website and just want an email reminder or something when you post. Thank you for your helpful hints

Okay…I’m probably going to do this a little bit too (because how can I resist doing what you tell me? I can’t!) ! I find myself taking random pics of my kids or hubbies at night just to get my 365 done. Self portrait today…yikes!

Sounds like fun! I’ve been doing P52 which seemed much easier to me that P365. I’ve been contemplating doing P365 next year. Hoping this helps me get into a habit of taking a picture a day.

I hear you! Getting in ruts is a common thing with photography! Here is a post I did to help you get out of a rut just in case you wanted to try something different.

And another one with photography project ideas that might help you take daily pictures! http://www.clickitupanotch.com/2012/01/photography-project-ideas-for-2012/
I am considering a 365 project. It’s not so much keeping up with the pictures that’s hard for me. It’s the upload and the posting. Maybe a monthly challenge is better. I agree using someone elses challenge is better than my own. Thanks again.
