    I'm currently quite enthusiastic about photography as a hobby. In my current happy state, if I followed the first 5 tips on that article, you'd probably be buying my gear on adverts within a week.

    Surely if it's a hobby and you get fed up with it, taking a break away from it is the best thing to do?


    Some of the others aren't bad though. Seeing my stuff in printed form always cheers me up. As does buying new gear and 'expirementing' with it.

    Great tips there. I think the one about setting challenges for yourself is a good one, that's where I fail.

    I'm trying to photo new things- at the moment I'm looking to try some gig photography for free. I put an ad in adverts.ie offering to shoot a gig for free.
    So far I got a reply asking am I covering Dublin (no) and wouuld I shoot a hen party (LOL but no).

    I love taking pics at gigs. I was lucky enough to have a chance at Temple house...it was cool.
    How about asking on the music forum? I'm sure some bands would jump at the chance.

    Too regimented for me. It could turn a pleasing hobby into OCD.

    I like the 365 remark. I'll probably take that on board but I'll start when I have a camera phone worth using! New iphone should land in august so ill give it a blast then! I like the other points to, all in all it makes sense, nice post!

    Pat - if you are in Galway city why not pop into the Roisin Dubh and chat with the manager and ask if its ok for you to photo whoever is on stage (whatever night suits you) - fingers crossed they wont mind and you have access to bands on stage which you can photo (and who might even be interested in purchasing an image or two)
