I love to use my digital slr camera to take photos of opportunities throughout the year. After all, some photos are only fun at a certain time of year.
In January, take time to celebrate the New Year with shots of Father Time, even as a cardboard cut out for a table top display. To do this, go to your nearest big box store and buy some New Year’s Eve items. These are especially fun after New Year’s when the discount stores are putting them on sale. Take them home and put them in your table top display and shoot away.
In February, hearts take the forefront. Look for displays around your area that have wonderful heart themes. Try some still life photography with a heart theme.
In March, try a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Again buy the items on sale at a big box store and take them home and play with them in your table top display.
In April, look for baby animals. This is the time of year that animals are being born and they make adorable photos.
In May, try graduation photos. Make sure to take a long range lens. Also as the students are graduating try some unusual head shots.
In June, try vacation photos. Look for unusual angles or unusual items to take photos of.
In July, try 4th of July photos; take exciting fireworks photos.
In August, try summer food photos. The summer harvest is at its fullest. Take wonderful food photos.
In September, take those back to school photos.
In October, try Halloween photos. Make your own pleasing scary photos.
In November, try fall photos outdoors. The fall harvest is bountiful and you can take some wonderful shots of Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.
In December try Christmas photos and don’t forget to get some shots of your favorite lighting decorations around town.
This article has hopefully given you some reasons to get out and use your digital slr camera all year long.
