Photography tips and ideas; Objects & Locations?

[DLL_4ever]

Hey there.

I'm having a pretty big problem. I love my DC and I love taking pictures. My problem is that i dont know what to take pictures of... I live far out in the country where there's no neat architecture at all, there are no hills/mountains/forests/lakes or anything like that even close to where i live. I am so overly bored out here and i cant find anything to take pictures of!
Do you guys have any tips or ideas for me, maybe regarding what i could take pictures of, where, how, etc etc. I'm completely clueless

The last while i've been taking/creating a lot of manipulation photos.

I'm completely out of ideas now. I need some help!

Thanks in advance!

You've definately been practicing the manipulations!!!

Are there any botanical gardens around? Those usually have great opportunities. Also, barring other opportunities go Macro! Lint can be interesting in Macro with a little spot lighting. Bugs, silverware, ice, anything in macro can be a whole new world of visual effects.

Hello,


Do they have people where you live? I believe that some photographers enjoy taking pictures of other people. Portraiture or something they call it.

LizM> Thanks And no, there are no botanical gardens around. The closest one that i know of is about 60-70km away from where i live, and at the moment i dont own a car of my own, so it'll be almost impossible for me to get there.

FuddyDuddy> A total of 900 people in my town. I dont know any of them since i just moved up here with my family about a year ago. I only know my next-door neighbours, and as far as I know they dont like being photographed. lol.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions!

Hello

In that case, offering to take their photo is the ideal way to break the ice with the population of your new hometown and make some new friends.:mrgreen:
