Comments on: I’m Holding The Best Camera (D112) http://tasramar.com/2009/12/d112-im-holding-the-best-camera/ photography for doers and dreamers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kacey http://tasramar.com/2009/12/d112-im-holding-the-best-camera/comment-page-1/#comment-12296 Kacey Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:25:44 +0000 http://tasramar.com/?p=3663#comment-12296 If I'm honest, I don't shoot more and share more of what I do shoot because I too often compare myself to some of my amazing photographer friends who have much more technical know how or fancier equipment or have been shooting longer or seemingly get better gigs than I do and the list goes on and on and on. I am so glad you opened this topic up today because it has been weighing heavily on me going into the new year and I had just made a committment to myself last week that I was not going to shoot for other people nor was I going to be held back by insecurities any longer. I vowed to shoot more, share more and learn more this year so that next year, if you ask the same question, I can answer honestly and say "nothing holds me back" ;-) If I'm honest, I don't shoot more and share more of what I do shoot because I too often compare myself to some of my amazing photographer friends who have much more technical know how or fancier equipment or have been shooting longer or seemingly get better gigs than I do and the list goes on and on and on.

Depends on the day. Time. Having just moved into a new house, things being done, a 9 to 5 job, etc. It all eats away at you.

Sometimes its the fact that I only have one lens, sometimes I feel like I don't know Lightroom well enough, sometimes I feel its lack of something new to shoot, when only 1 in 100 shots are interesting and sometimes I'm just plain uninspired.<br><br>Then I take the most amazing shot - and I think maybe, just maybe I can do something.

I have just started of on a Project 365 challenge at <a href="http://prophecyblur.com" rel="nofollow">http://prophecyblur.com</a> and still have a long long way to go.

I guess it could be a confidence issue, but once you're out there you can't turn back. Having every image scrutinized and critiqued whether you want it or not. But with this 365 project, everyday I'm getting a critique...some silent others loud but all very clear.It's kind of like getting ready for the next step, I'm learning where my strengths are and being forced to break through my weaknesses. In all, I guess everyone has had this fear of 'making it' but the difference between those who do and those who don't is in how you deal with that fear. <br><br>Great post Tasra!
