While sometimes it feel if I don't know what to shoot or simply feel the need to get some photos, I have stumbled on something that works for me. The idea of this is to develop a theme around which to shoot. It is a simple idea that can involve endless possibilities if you are willing to give it a go. I currently have a few themes on the go, which means if I get the camera itch at any time, I can find something quickly to shoot. It also helps to make the most of every opportunity - in most situations, there would be SOMETHING to fit into one of my themes. The final benefit I have found regarding this idea is that it gives more variation to my photography. It broadens the way I view things around me and allows me to pay attention to things I may otherwise pass by.
Additional ideas I think about as I go about these various themed shots are the basic things such as compositions, subject matter, and perspective. By practising the thought processes, they will become more second nature in future photography.
