How to take more pictures
It made me
Happy and confident.
 "Took a while to get started, but now I'm hooked!"
How I did it: One day I decided to take my camera when I went for a walk. I liked taking the pictures, so the next day I took pictures of the backyard. It snowballed from there. Now i have a photo project-making a photo diary of the birds in my area. It is a great challenge because I want to take good pictures, and birds are often hard to capture because of their movements. But it is rewarding to see my progress. The ultimate highlight is figuring out parts of the camera all by myself. Learning how to manipulate flash, use manual focus, etc. It builds confidence. Lessons & tips: Make a project out of it! Or maybe find a friend and have a photography competition. Anything to give positive reinforcement. Resources: Friends! If you know a photographer, ask them to give you tips. Watch how they work. My Canon rebel XT is a great camera for someone who wants to go deeper into photography without paying the price for professional equipment.

How I did it: This could become the fate of the pictures we take today? The face and the memory someday to be tossed away.So make time to save your pictures.Or someday you will be the strange in the box . Read how I did it…
How I did it: i took a loaddddd of photos from holidays and other days out and of family and nicked ones off the other half and got them all sent to me and now they are in my photo album : ) Read how I did it…
MistaknKindness "Woah"
How I did it: Traveling helps this. It's more exciting taking pictures of things you've never seen before. I would like to eventually get better at taking more pictures of friends and family during events though. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I recieved a Nikon L100 and from there I immediately began to take photo after photo. I am by no means a photographer but there I was taking random photos. I believe everyone who has recently recieved a camera goes photo whore status, but we all learn that it's all about the quality not the quantity. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I take at least a photo a day on my iPhone now, since I carry it everywhere. I post many of them to Flickr. Read how I did it…
I’m sorry this photo shows up so horribly, it’s actually only 375×500…I’m not sure why 43things insists on stretching it!
I’ve actually been doing pretty well with this goal. My only problem now is having the motivation to upload them!
Every time I go away somewhere, I forget to take pictures, or don’t feel like bringing my camera along, or making people pose for a pic, then I wind up with NO PICTURES which sucks!
Then my last camera started working strangely and taking awful pictures half the time, so I really need to work on acheiving “buy a new camera” first…

The awesome smoothie I got at Red Lobster the other night. It was so good.
and the best way for me to take spontaneous pictures that I will be able to use as a way of scrapbooking 2010 is by using a disposable camera. I can buy a couple, use one for every month, plus a additonal one for special events and get them developed at the end of the very month. It seems pretty simple, and it’s not going to cost me to much either. £3 a camera roughly £4 deveolping. That’s what I’ve found out so far in like a day, so I could porpbably find other ways of doing it. It’s a shame that janurary won’t have many photos but meh, what to do about it.
I have a nikon camera with numerous lenses. I love taking photos I really do, however I always plan them. I always think ‘I’ll go out on such a day and take photos of such a thing’ But you can’t plan photos. (well you can but not all of them). I want to take photos spontaneously, carry my camera out somewhere and just take whatever pleases me. But most of all I want to take photos of my friends and family. I look at past photos and they are all posed, fake and really old. I want to capture memories, when something happens I want to photograph it so that I don’t ever forget. I don’t really think my camera is suited to this, it’s pretty fiddly.
I got this fabulous new camera for christmas and I have no idea how to use it.
I used it a bit during the holidays but was rather overwhelmed by all the different features and options.
I haven’t really tried very hard, i bookmarked a few web sites about photography but haven’t had a chance to look at them.
Tried reading the manual but it was insanely dull and just got me all confused.
So, the first action i am going to take towards achieving this goal is to actually read the sites that I bookmarked. what would be great is if I could find a site that e-mailed you a tutorial/list of tips a day. I’m sure that exists somewhere within the infinite resources of the internet.
