Do you set yourself little projects for taking pictures or making things from your pictures? This podcast is the audio of a recent Zoom call where we discussed how projects can help and some ideas of things to try. Have a listen and then jot down any ideas that come to you so that you can have fun taking pictures.  Sarah x

We get frustrated when we are learning and we need to know it and be able to do it all right now. In this podcast I look at it from a different perspective so that you can be kinder to yourself and have more enjoyment along the way.  Sarah x

In this episode I talk about how it's important to balance the learning and improving with the fun. If we just do the stuff that's hard the fun disappears and we can give up. If you have been trying to improve the pictures that you're taking but have got frustrated and stuck this could help you.  Sarah x

We can choose and change how we do things in any moment but sometimes at the start of a new year it's good to pause and think about how we want things to look. Maybe there were things you didn't get to do in 2021 or maybe there is an area of your picture taking that you want to make stronger. What would you like to take pictures of in 2022?  Sarah x

Sometimes it's hard to remember all we have done in a year but a great thing to do is take half an hour to flick through the pictures that you have taken. How did your photography year go? What would you like to differently in 2022? Be gentle on yourself, you can't change what's done but you can decide how you want to do things moving forward.  Sarah x

Sometimes we read that we should have this lens or that lens or we have a number of lenses and never know which ones to take out with us. Taking them all can resulting in an aching shoulder. Here I explain some of the numbers and jargon that go with lenses and what the different ones are all about. 

Sometimes we get stuck in a bit of a rut without even realising it. It's good to try new things sometimes as this can strengthen our images. Have an experimental no pressure day and see how it feels.  Sarah x

Today I'm on a woodland wander to give you ideas of things to photograph when in the woods. Either have a listen to get some ideas or play me as you wander. You can always pause it so that you have time to take pictures.  Sarah x

Often photography lesson clients will comment that since having some lessons they are seeing things differently and noticing more things. Deliberately noticing the details is something that I use whether I have my camera in my hand or not, to get into a calmer place. Have a listen and give it a go.  Sarah x
