[...] Arbeiten: für alle die öfter mal “… keine Zeit …” als Ausrede verwenden um nicht zu fotografieren, kommt der Tritt in den Hintern [...]

I do mental photography all the time. In fact I was stood at a crossroads visualising how I was gonna shoot my friend riding his bike (he’s a courier), how I would compose it, what would I include in the frame and what would I exclude, what focal length I was gonna use, where I was gonna position my lights, where the sun would be at what time of day, etc. It’s not a weird concept at all but I think the people walking past must have thought I was a bit weird as I walked backwards and forwards, then sideways, then backwwards and forwards again, and so on.

I could not agree more. I recently came off of some medications that made it difficult for me to be creative,and I have been trying to get my “photographic eye” back, and the best thing by far has been to just shoot, shoot, shoot. It is working, slowly at first, but lately, I have been “seeing” pictures, and running to get my camera, whereas before, I would not even have seen them.

If only you could put a CF card in your head, I would have some truely amazing shots. A lot of times I bookmark shots, and go back and take them later on when I have a camera with me. I was up at my camp last summer and I saw a neat shot which should still hopefully be there this year that I have to take.

I love the site by the way.

Ah, but have you found that you’re using your compact camera more and more, rather than that big DSLR? It’s surprising just how accessible these small cameras are.. nice shots by the way..

Thanks for your comments

@Bertrand: belles images!

@Howard: The difference between practice and real stuff is just like when I played basketball. In practice I want to get better, try new things, throw crazy passes, … But in the game I want to win. In some games you get the chance to takes some risks and practice during the game but in other games you need to use what you know to win.
To be honest I don’t ask myself that kind of questions very often. I just know that I feel the need to capture stuff with my camera and I’m happy just knowing that.

@Tito: ok, Abu Dabi is just erased from my ‘countries to visit before I die list’.

@Lars: Ixus 860 IS, love it

@ Akif: welcome

Found your blog recently (through some link through strobist, I think), and I think it is great what you are doing. I have read the whole blog in the last couple of days and love your candid attitude, and am very impressed with the techniques you showed, and of course the great photographs.

I now have the blog bookmarked, and will be visiting it regularly.
