MPC #119 - Out of Your Comfort Zone -3/12-3/26
Thanks to all that voted, I've been doing these for a while and gotta say that the happy feeling in my pants is a good one.
My life choices, where I live, and who I'm friends with all revolves around skiing, as do many of yours. I find myself not bringing my camera out unless I am touring or skiing in-bounds. Lately, I've been trying to get out and shoot things I wouldn't normally shoot. Whether that means the method or the subject, I think it's a good way to push yourself as a photographer.
I want you guys to do that as well. Take an introspective look at your portfolio and identify something you do poorly or that you wouldn't normally do, and go shoot it and try to get better at it. That means no Lake Tahoe for Splitter, Wildlife/landscapes for Mtcham, Etc, Etc. If you post regularly in "Picture of the Day", I don't want to see something that you've done well before.
You could also take this title as "getting close to fear", but I'd rather you try something photographically out of your usual routine.
