I'm finding it really hard to be motivated with photography at the moment :'( Cause I'm not owa grand ("too well" for the southerners) and changing meds etc, I'm only awake for about 10-14 hours a day at the moment - usually stupid o'clock til early afternoon. It's been a few days since I had my beloved camera out and it's driving me nuts, but I'm so :gag: "blergh" and hands protesting ATM that I'm useless with it when I do get it out and auto....well, auto is just cheating isn't it? :lol:

So guys and girls, what do you do when you're lacking motivation to snap away? :thinking:

*puts laptop down and goes to reach for camera in protest!*
 
I try not to let it bother me and just get on with other stuff. At the moment, I'm not taking many photos because the weather's so carp that I really can't be bothered going out and getting cold and wet. Once the sun shows itself again, chances are I'll borrow my Wife's new toy and head up to Dartmoor or down to the coast with a bag in the boot. Until then, I'll stay in the warm, close to the coffee machine and look forward to 4 weeks' time. You never know, one of the things I may get around to is the 4x A3 poster print I want to do of my current favourite shot. Should be having a rationalisation of my internal HDD as well.
 
In the late eighties I was very ill for a few months & could not summon the energy to even go outside. Lost the use of an arm too so photography was out even if I had wanted to.
I spent the time sorting through my slide (remember them) collection & doing a bit of cataloging.
That seemed to at least keep the interest going.
Might be worth a try with your digi images unless of course you have them all sorted as you go!
 
I have to admit, it really does bother me. I mean, I've just took a few shots (and for a change I'm quite chuffed :lol: posted one in the week 49 competition) though I have been wanting to take those images for a few hours. I think it's because of other stuff though, photography is fastly becoming my vice :lol:
 
struggling a bit at the moment. Illness has forced a change of camera, so getting used to using a new camera + naff weather = no real incentive.
Hopefully get time to play over the christmas period.
