5 Ways to Improve (DIYphotography.net)

• Listen to Your Favorite Music - music is a powerful inspiration to me and I constantly find myself turning to my favorite artists on any occasion. I'm sure this would help my photos if I were to utilize a theme in an album or song (or even the meaning of a single line) to guide my photography.
• Take on a Photo-A-Day Project - if I were to set a goal to post at least one photo every day for a year, I would have much more motivation to do so. These photos, however, may risk trading quality for quantity.
• Look 360 - this concept could essentially be applied to any situation. So much is missed because of the solid fact that, as humans, we cannot see everything around us at once. Just logistically, if we don't try we'll miss over half of everything there is to look at. This leaves more than 180 degrees of inspiration we're turning down.
• Use a Prop in an Interesting Way - everything could become an artful photograph, and is only restricted by creativity and knowledge/ability of editing.
• Take a Self-Portrait - sometimes, there just isn't anyone willing or available to be featured in a photograph. However, with a tripod and a self-timer, the photographer can always use themselves -- free of judgement (usually) or reluctance.
