One way to reduce your shutter count and get better photographs is to use film instead of digital. It forces you to be more careful about your image and slow down your “snapping”.
I also think you could choose only 5 images from another photographer and try to replicate their composition. Only move back to digital once you have succeeded.
I couldn’t understand what my brain was doing when I went on walks. I hated those walks.
9 years ago I took my son on a trip to Scotland and started taking snaps. I was surprised to find I didn’t mind trailing him around with a camera.
Turns out that on those walks my mind had been computing angles and compositions.
In very late diagnosed with ADHD and possibly undiagnosed autism.
Since starting I was a finalist in photographer of the year, have been published, have images in my country’s national photographic archive but in the last year or so I gave up walking/photographing.
This post makes me think it’s time to get the camera out again. Photography occupies and calms my busy mind. Landscape photography bores me now - too much layering and manipulation. I like abstraction and high contrast, still life and street photography of unusual moments in cities. Shame I live very remote overlooking the Atlantic.
