How to Find Inspiration for Taking Photographs
We all need to be inspired from time to time. The desire to take out the camera and be creative with it isn't always easy. Often all it takes is a change in view point, a different take on whats around you in your home or community environment.This short article will show you a few places that I like to visit regularly to get me in the mood for taking photographs.
The Big Picture | Boston.com
The big picture is simple amazing, it's a collection of photos, the best of pictures that are printed in leading news papers and magazines around the world. The pictures are collated according to news story, eg the Obama election. So you get to see a best of collection from a wide range of photographers all covering the event from a different angle, some shots are creative others are a stark reminder of the realities of life, either way these photos are among some of the most captivating and compleling you will see anywhere on the internet.
Flickr | Online Photo Community
This service has been around for a while now, its a photo sharing service that allows you to display your photos. However there is more to it than simply that, you can create groups and submit your photos to a catagory. The power behind this is in what you can search for, for example you could do a search on any topic the you are interested in or want to get ideas on in regards to photographing for yourself.
JPG Magazine | Online Photography Magazine
The idea behind JPG magazine is both unque and brilliant. Create and online community for photographers, get people to then vote on the best photographs submitted. Then when the deadline ends all the photographs that were voted for the most end up in a beautiful magazine which is sold to the public via its website. A theme is started by the people behind the site, for example a theme may be chosen like "rain" then the most creative photos submitted to this category will end up in the magazine. A photo magazine created entirely by the community for the community.
iStock Photo | Online Stock Photography
The concept of stock photography is simple, if you take a cool picture or related to a particular field someone out there might want buy it for use in advertising or some other form of media. So through sites like this you can sell your photographs and make some money. But the site also provides you and I with a plethora of photographs to browse for inspiration. Besides, you might end up selling your own photographs and becoming a stock photo entrepreneur.
Well I hope that these couple of links are just what the Doctor ordered. If your not inspired after all these photographs then you might want to start looking for another hobby, seriously. Until next time, remember to take your camera with you where ever you go and start snapping, you could land yourself a million dollar shot, literally.
