I’m always trying to improve my camera skills.  I find it easier when I’m photographing or filming in a new place- the sites and colors are different and I tend to thrive on that.  When I’m framing shots in familiar surroundings, I try to look at other aspects other than the subject.  I often find that photography from National Geographic gives me inspiration to do something different. To see the every day in a different way:

Light and shutter speed

Focus

Color Contrast

Shape and framing

Texture and angle

I still struggle to make things original sometimes, but at least I can get some ideas.
