I am determined to bring over to STEEMIT as many new artist to the site from other social media platforms as I can possibly wrangle in with post like these.

Cameras have become very convenient to use, between apps that stitch panoramic or HDR photos in camera to apps that can publish photos from your cell phone camera directly to social media feeds. Even the most basic point and shoot cameras have some amazing features. Modest cameras selling for under $200 are jammed packed with all kinds of technological goodies to make photographic eye candy possible for the amateur photographer.

So where are all the great photographers and amazing images we're supposed to be seeing from all the glimmering generalities featured in the average camera anybody can afford nowadays? This brings me to my next topic of how to motivate yourself to capture great images once you buy yourself that dream setup you've always wanted.

It is not obvious how sometimes the most simple images are in actuality some of the most complicated or difficult to capture.

Good photography is about timing as well as dedication to the pursuit of capturing the finest quality image the mind can achieve with the tools provided to a given photographer. Acquiring a Press Pass to a concert one month before the show or going out on the road to an exotic destination or traveling to a Frozen wilderness paradise is not something that is easily afforded on the average workers salary more then once or twice a year. Just the time it takes to get away from one's job to have the luxury to be able to capture images and execute proper post-processing color treatment for photos requires a serious commitment of time and a very sharp eye to distinguish between tones, composition and several other important elements like color balance and cropping.

Getting out of bed Before Sunrise to get to a location and capture a photo or hustling through traffic to get to an ideal Sunset spot sounds easy enough to do, try motivating yourself to get out of bed on the exact morning the elements you require for the perfect photo are going to happen. When regular life kicks in and all the obligations and responsibilities of a normal person's world are at hand, getting to a concert to get that photograph of an artist you love or making it to the botanical gardens to capture photographs of insects are not always easy to do with our busy schedule's.

The bottom line is there is no easy to motivate yourself beyond the obvious. Scheduling to go on a photoshoot when there is free time and sticking to the schedule is a good way to motivate yourself to follow through with a shoot regardless of how you're feeling about going to do the work when it actually comes time to setting out on your journey.

When you thought about buying a camera and dropping a few hundred bucks on a system you figured would have the features you need to best capture the kind images you like to see, I hope you didn't think that all those images would be captured from the passenger seat of a car or the balcony of an apartment building. Getting out and exploring the world is one of the main reasons photography is such an amazing past time, because getting to experience the journey is half the fun of actually getting to capture the photograph as demonstrated by the photographers I have chosen to highlight in the newest series of images I have curated for this post. In other words there is no magic bullet or perfect pill to take to help motivate oneself to exercise photography as often as possible other than to recognize that photography is many hours of hard work and dedication as previously mentioned, with the right attitude and approach to photography, amazing images become possible to capture.
