Hi Chris, great video. I just finished my first project. Not that I’m any expert but my main takeaway was, not to get distracted and end up with two goals of the project. Your points of just getting started and keeping it local are really important. We can make things complicated later. For me it was also important to focus on the process and completing the project during the time I had available. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Phil! Congratulations on completing your project, that's a fantastic achievement! I think seeing a project through from start to finish will have been such a valuable experience for you and no doubt you'll take those experiences forward into your next one!
Thanks for watching Mary and thank you for your comment! It's great to know that this video has given you some ideas to adopt into your own photography! Would love to know what you're working on so do keep in touch! 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the support, Lynda! I care so little about photography gear, it's not the aspect of photography that brings me joy so I do tend to focus on more topics around the creative process. I will feature gear videos from time to time but only if I feel they'll be beneficial or they support a broader topic. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts :). Enjoy your weekend!
a project can be a goal, my goal is to photograph at least one 1 face in nature, 1 flower a day, and at least 1 bird of prey a month for 2024. It makes me go outside and think.
Using a project as a goal setting tool is also a great idea! I love those goals you've set yourself, Dave! Some lovely variety and a great excuse for getting out in nature with your camera which is what it's all about - I can definitely relate to that! Thanks for watching and commenting! Really appreciate it. 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching! Hope you found some useful tips in this video! Have you ever done a photography project? 📸

I like your videos because they are about photography and not gear.
