080: 5 Ways To Jump Start Your Photos In 2018

In today's episode, I talk about the growth of the Beginner
Photography Podcast in 2017. I talk about the plans I made for
last year, whether or not I kept them, and why. I also talk about
the challenges I faced and what I plan to do about them in the
upcoming year.  1: Share Your Photos I can't tell you how
bad I wish I had shared more of my photos when I first started
out. But there simply was not an easy way to do it like there is
now. Take advantage of this great time to be alive and share your
photos with the world!  2: Experiment More It can get easy
to fall into a rhythm when shooting. Sure there is a lot to learn
about photography but with so much to learn it can be
overwhelming when trying something new, so you just default to
your old ways. That's a quick way to fall stagnant. Don't fall
into that trap!  3: Be The Dumbest Person In The Room Growth
only comes when you are around people who know more than you do.
When starting out as a photographer I can see how you might feel
like a fraud, or worse, not worthy. That's simply false and
crazy. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone has a different
journey. Join a local photo club, find one on Meetup.com (it's
not a dating site, I promise.) 4: Don't Buy Any New Gear Learn to
use the gear you have. Master your gear. Know it inside and out.
Once you learn your gear's limitations, only then can you be
qualified to spend money on something new. I understand if you
need a new battery or memory card, or even a camera bag, but
don't buy a new camera body in 2018! 5: Print Your Photos Our
generation is printing fewer photos than ever before. I recently
read a story of a little girl going through her grandparent's
photo albums and wondering why she had no photos of herself to
hold and show others. I hate that idea and you should too! Photos
are the perfect way to relive a moment in the past. The digital
version is fine, but holding a print in your hand is an entirely
different experience!
