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: I took a lot more pictures this last year, in part because I intended to use them for blogging, calendar's, facebook etc.I think all of the social networking sites helped me to stay on top of things. My real goal wasn't just to take more pictures, but to take more pictures of my boys because they won't stay little forever! I already regret not having as many photos of them as babies/toddlers as I would like. Read how I did it…

First thing’s first-take the camera out with me!
That seems to be the best way to start this! Haha.
I’m going to begin by getting my photos from a recent trip to London developed and hope that this will inspire me somewhat.
Also, I plan to try and take some photos at uni when I go back next week. Library fun time photos anyone?

take some photography course or read tips on the Internet!
I love taking picture but what bothers me is that I have to read some course, tips about taking picture in order to better know how to use the camera and therefore to take good pics.
I am not motivated but I have a colleague who’s really into it and it may motivates me…

I started taking pictures on my phone because it’s more convenient and easier to post online. I just wish my phone camera didn’t suck. I took some pictures of myself and my cat.

since I’ve added the other goal to take a photo every day. For a week, at least, I’ve taken more pictures, and fulfilling that goal will certainly accomplish this one.
