Today, I did a quick search for a photography challenge and found out that A Year With My Camera was starting a new yearlong workshop today!

This course is a free, yearlong beginner’s photography workshop with weekly homework.

I really don’t consider myself a beginner photographer, but I have been lacking inspiration of what to take pictures of with my DSLR.

The first thing I discovered on the website is this Make 30 Photos list.

I loved that this list did not start with a self-portrait!

After reading the list, I picked up my camera and took a few pictures that matched the first prompt: fill the frame with color.

It felt good to pick up my camera and take some creative shots with things I already have around my home. Maybe this will be the encouragement I need to pick up my camera every day, instead of letting it collect dust.

Have you discovered something new to do this year?
