Default Has this happened to anyone?

I read the different posts and see everyone's fantastic photographs, whether it be people, night photos, macro, landscape. I get so many great ideas I want to try out... that when I do get off from work or have a day off.... I just freeze up. Don't know which one to do first, I basically get overwhelmed. Sheesh, I guess I want to do it all, and right now. This could be the first signs of an addiction LOL

LOL. I have an addiction too. I don't have trouble deciding what to do first though. I just head out with my camera and start with whatever is closest. My problem is putting the camera down and calling it a day!

you can also put all the pictures you're inspired by on one piece of paper and leave that in your camera bag. it doesn't have to be a great quality print but you should recognize it and remember why it inspired you.

Does it really matter which one you do first? Just jump in and do. As you go along, you're sure to find an area that you like better than others, and as you start with one project, that will probably spur new ideas. The big point is just go and shoot, shoot, shoot, and learn, learn, learn. the rest will take care of itself. And if not already, you will soon be addicted.

You know you're addicted when you have more than two lenses
