How about taking what you consider your most notable images from the past year (I'm thinking one each of portrait, landscape and street) and applying some objective analysis to them (as objective as you can be about personal work)? It's something all of us should do more of and I'm sure we'd all like to read what you'd have to offer.

Yes! Good one.

Digital Art and Nature Photography. How much processing is too much? We have purists who won't punch the vibrance slider in Lightroom just a tad to give that Great Blue Heron just a little color and those who occasionally create instant bokeh with things like the Adamski Effect or Blur in Lightroom. Maybe contrast professional photographers on one side or the other?

Do a series and tell us about YOU. How you started. Show us your early work. Show how this developed over time to where you are now. Do a behind the scenes of your podcast.

Tell us about creative block, how to overcome it, what causes it. Use the current 'stuck-ness' to learn what it is you're feeling right now and then teach us about it.

Along the lines of your writer's block - what about creative photography block! For hobbyists or anyone just making photos on their own, what can you do when you're not feeling inspired to get out shooting. Several years ago I saw a webinar where the presenter suggested ways to "exercise" or challenge your own creativity, anything along those lines.

Something I struggle with is keywording amd searching in Lightroom. I do keyword my images but in a basic way and I tend to find that a simple search brings up too many items (Example: I take refular photos of a particular field and label them 'field'. I live in Wakefield and label photos 'Wakefield'.

Whenever I want one or the other I get all images for both!

I have never really 'learned' the keyword/tag process!

Write about the joy photography gives you. Why it pushes you to continue to learn and share your knowledge with us. The feeling you get when you click the shutter button and you just know the photo is just right and when you gaze at the print it confirms your joy in capturing gorgeous photos.

I would like to see what you can share with regards to the art of telling a story in a photograph. There is a local photographer whose photos I see often, who seems to have a really good ability to capture the "story" in his images. Thanks.

You might want to write about current photography exhibits at museums, eg, Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits from the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art; see https://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2024/gordon-parks-corcoran.html or The ’70s Lens: Reimagining Documentary Photography, also at the National Gallery https://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2024/70s-lens-documentary-photography.html
