30 Days of Mobile Photography – Day 30

January 31, 2013 by andrew 17 Comments

The final day.

I had a fitting conversation with a good friend today about the creative process. Some people think it is best to do their creative work when they feel "inspired".

Totally disagree.

I think you get "inspired" by doing your work everyday and creating. It doesn't matter what you create. It just matters that you do it. If you wait for the muse to visit you then you will just get lonely.

You have to make it happen by doing your work everyday.

I'll put up a gallery with all the shots from this project in a few days. It was a great time and I am glad so many people cheered me on along the way.

Thanks!

    Nice work. How has shooting mobile for a month changed your perspective on shooting, creativity, and gear?

    +Matthew Lamb Yes, It has me more focused on composition and less worried about technical details. I have never been a pixel peeper and I dont really worry too much about digital noise. Shooting with the iPhone has made me less worried about image quality details like these and more focused on making the photo interesting. I think that is first done by making a good composition and then finding a strong subject to fill the composition. Shooting with the iPhone helped me focus on making an interesting image instead of being being worried about my ISO, Fstop, shutter speed, etc. I had no choice and the only control I had was was the framing…
