The Photog Formula

Today, my photo class took a photowalk downtown.  It’s the first time I’ve ever gone out with other photographers to take pictures.  I usually enjoy going out by myself, for a little “me time”, but I can honestly say that it was great having other photogs there.

I’m usually a loner when it comes to photowalks, and enjoy the quiet to be able to focus and get lost in my thoughts.  However, going out on one’s own can have its drawbacks as well.  Having a group there allowed me to get their point of view on different shots.  We were all able to feed off each other and bounce ideas around.

And even though we were taking pictures of the same things, none of us ever had the same result.  Ah, the beauty of creative minds!

So if you ever find yourself short on ideas, just go out with a few other photographers and you’ll be able to spark your creativity once again.  I’ve chosen a few of my favorite images from the photowalk and would like to share them with you.

Thanks for reading!!

I know I could break these images up across a few different blog posts to keep a common theme, but what’s the fun in that?

Actually, I caught all 3 themes in one photowalk, so I decided to share.

The image I picked for today’s photo can be found on http://Phototerium.com.  It’s of a couple of deer trying to outrun my camera.  Luckily I was just as fast!

Here are the rest of the best:
