November musings

Well my month of food photography didn't go so well as I found it very restricting sticking to one theme. I decided to begin another 365 yesterday and that will enable me to take photos of what I feel like. I have really missed doing my 365 and found that I wasn't taking as many pictures based on themes. Here are some of my food photographs from November. Anyone else feel like starting a 365?

  1. You have some very nice photos here with a lot of variety. I am not good at food photography at all!

    Since my first 365 (the one we did as a group on Flickr) I've completed two more, just a photo-a-day placed into a calendar app on my iPhone. I've enjoyed doing that far more than I thought I would. They aren't "artistic" shots for the most part, more just a snapshot to remember each day. But after two years of it, I'm asking myself if I want to continue next year. I've wondered if having a theme would be helpful or if it would just discourage me. I think what I've enjoyed about what I've been doing is that it's easy and there are no rules, so no excuses!

  2. I hear you about feeling restricted, I always feel the same way when I try to stick to a theme. I have found that I need that first idea as a springboard to whatever my project will become. I started a 52 week photo project at the beginning of November. I feel that is a little less pressure for me than a 365, some focus and some flexibility. I am using Adobe Spark to create my photo project each week.

  3. I do understand what you mean, Justine. I too, think that themes are really restrictive.
    I am kind of always doing a 365, in that I take at least one picture a day of something that catches my attention. At the end of the day, I usually just look through the photos I've taken, and select one that I like the best, or that most represents the day. I don't post them, because feeling that I would have to post each day, would take away the enjoyment of doing it, VERY quickly.

  4. I love these food photos- the good thing about themes is that it helps focus on looking for something in particular & aiming to be a bit creative with that. Having said that I did find my month of food the most difficult! After 11 days I'm still going with my 365 :)

  5. Yes I would love to do a 365! Do you stick to a theme, or just go with a photo a day of whatever takes your fancy? I love the idea of being able to look back on it xx
