A Difficult Challenge - Photographing the Familiar

- It's easy to find the pictures in something new or something unfamiliar, but photography of the routine, the ordinary can be a tougher proposition.
We all can take good pictures on a vacation, but can we do the same while walking our neighbourhood?
Most of us can't be travelling all of the time, so the ability to work the familiar will expand our photographic opportunities. In this video we'll look at a simple exercise to expand our photographic vision.

A simple exercise but a really clever idea. Thanks for the insights, Peter, great video.
A good exercise we can all benefit from.
This is an interesting idea. Sometimes, just taking a picture will prompt you to take another. I use this to get started when I am feeling less than motivated. Recently, I have been trying to find subject matter at different times of the day. Something that is boring or busy in the daytime becomes moody and interesting at night. You throw in a black-and-white aspect, and things really start to get creative.
B&W white always strips things down to the essence of the image. No crutches left.
About working the same subject over and over, that's something I've done in the past and since totally forgot about, so thanks for mentioning it. Going back to the same subject and finding something new each time is a tremendous exercise for the creative mind. That's worth a video. :)
Great video. I probably have 2,000 photos around my house and backyard just practising. Great exercise! I like your photo of the windowsill and the chair.
Excellent video. I've seen so many camera club images which aren't more than documentary images of the subject of the month. You've put some thought into these images. Perspective, background, lighting etc. all play a part in a decent image. The subject of the month in my camera club for Sept 23 was "toys". I went to the dollar store and bought some lego knock offs. October subject was tools. I used the same lego people depicting them stealing some 10mm sockets from my tool box. Some got it some didnt. Another month was fire. I used the fire painting technique with the lego people. Another was "sweets" again lego people and candy. I incorporated the toys into every subject of the month for the camera club season. Final month was balloons. Dollar store balloons and a wicker basket. I was lucky enough to get a window seat on a flight into Seattle and get an image out the window of Mt Ranier. Used that as a background and photoshopped the balloons/gondola(basket) and lego people in it. Were they the highest scoring images? NO, but I had fun making them and learned a bit in the processes.
Good points Peter. Keep that shutter working.
