📷 Photoblogging🎨
I learned that photoblogging has really exploded across the Internet. Now more than ever there are multiple options for affordable digital cameras and a plethora of photosharing websites. People from all different walks of life are photoblogging and for a variety of reasons.
Some are amateurs, others professionals, and still others are somewhere in between. All in all, people around the world like to be connected, get feedback, and share ideas and photoblogging is a great way to accomplish this. Read on for additional information and ideas about starting your own photoblog.
A photoblog is basically a blog created for the purpose of sharing photos. Generally, photos are posted and organized in reverse chronological order so that each new post with current pictures rises to the top or front page. The photos are usually accompanied by captions that tell others where and how pictures were taken. Often a photoblog has a unifying theme but other times they are just as random and scattered as the people who blog them.
Photoblogs can be well organized around a theme or be more fluid and random like a stream of thought.
No matter how structured you decide for your blog to be, here are some great theme ideas to get you started:
- 🔮Objects – Get out of the house and find interesting people, places, and things. Point and shoot. Good places to go and find interesting photo opportunities include parks, playgrounds, old buildings, cemeteries, hiking trails, gardens, beaches, mountain views, and community events.
- 📅Timelapse – With some patience, a good tripod, and tape (to mark your tripod location) you can take a series of pictures of the same object or place over time. You may consider taking a picture a day of a seedling that struggles upward and finally blooms with a beautiful flower.
- 📱Photo a day – Easy as it sounds. Take one picture per day, post it, and comment or caption it. Your pictures can be random or centered around a theme. But beware of photoblogger block. 365 days is a big commitment. Perhaps consider a photo per week.
- 💻Show progress – Not everyone is a great professional or can afford the newest and best cameras, but this doesn’t mean you should wait to photoblog for when you have mastered the art of photography. Instead consider just posting pictures as you take them, invite feedback, journal your experience, and you may surprise yourself about the progress you can make in your photographic skills.
- 📷Share techniques – People who use the internet and read blogs often value community and the free flow of information. Consider telling the world what you know. Start by publishing good “how-to” photoblog posts, discuss techniques used in the field or studio, share valuable and relevant information, and invite feedback. Consider choosing one topic at a time, become an expert on it, and then share your experience and knowledge.
- ✈Travelogue – Do you have the urge to set sail, trek across the wilderness, or travel to new and exciting places? Consider documenting it with pictures in a travelogue. And keep in mind that you don’t have to be rich or travel to some exotic destination. Just get off the beaten path and explore interesting places, meet memorable people and participate in fun pastimes. Then photoblog it. Even if your activity or destination isn’t extreme or breathtaking, take pictures and document your experience from your perspective. Others may find it interesting.
🎨Creating your own photoblog is a way to express yourself , share your pictures , and create art through camera lenses.
