    I picked up all the course material for the OCA - Art Of Photography course, on fleabay. Some excellent instruction, and very interesting tasks. Looking forward to pushing myself to "see with the mind and eye".

    Anyway, it suggest keeping a logbook, for ideas, inspiration, critique of your own work and others; as well as a kind of diary of your work and the techniques used. This logbook is used as part of your final assessment.

    Does anyone here use a logbook? I know I don't, but I'm heading out for a ring binder tomorrow ;)

    I also have one of these, very useful when I'm at events and need to take names for who's who in a photo.

    Moleskin notebooks are excellent quality and worth the few euro, I have one of these one#'s http://www.moleskine.com/catalogue/classic/

    You can buy them on Amazon or ebay,

    I really should start doing this. I like to go out and look for different flower species and take photos (not really "photography" as such but collecting flowers without picking them!) Problem is, I often take so many that I forget where I took them...I must get a moleskin...

    I'd recommend the moleskin over the "police mans notebook" as the moleskin will stand up to alot more

    I don't have a fancy Black'n'Red one.

    You'll occassionally find a shopping list in mine so I wouldn't want to destroy a moleskin with shopping items for the week which reminds I need Banana's for the Banoffee Pie I'm trying this weekend

    I use a moleskine for other things but for photo ideas I'm building shutterscouts.com.

    In general, I find it essential to record my ideas (subject/location/conditions) because otherwise I'll have forgotten them when I actually need them! I'm often sitting at home wondering "what can I shoot today?" or end up back at the same places. Keeping a logbook of ideas can really help you to make the most of your time and break out of familiar ideas.
