When I was into photography during the “wet” era there were two main constraints, being limited to 36 pictures per roll, and the cost of processing and printing. Naturally, with digital, both if these are no longer issues. That doesn’t mean though, that your photographs aren’t boring. But is it reasonable to say; my boring is your art? OK, OK, that’s probably a bit extreme, I don’t expect you to think that my boring pictures are in any way artistic. But, you never know…
One thing that I do know is that I am bored with many of the pictures that I take on my morning walks. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t matter how many times I photograph anywhere on the Gosport waterfront, it still has the potential to turn into a nice picture, but for the most part that will be through an external influence; a lovely sky, a new ship coming in, a a good bit of street photography. These don’t come around that often. So I haven’t been taking as many pictures I would normally take. I want to take more pictures.
I’ve been watching a few videos on YouTube about boring photography, and they tend to encourage you to just take pictures that may please you and not to worry. There are lots of things that I could photograph, I’ll just have to try. I’ll give it a go tomorrow, and see how I get on.
