Three Things to Take Pictures of in the Spring

It's spring time. That means the weather is turning, it's going to be warm out, and the landscape is gonna look a whole lot different.

It also means new things to take pictures of! So, in case you're tired of being stuck inside, here are a few ideas that you can take pictures of to take advantage of the change in climate.

Portraits in the Park. Portraits inside are nice, and studio portraits can be great in a certain way. But going outside and taking portraits in the park is so much more fun. You get a greater variety of surroundings - a lake, a tree, flowers, benches, grassy fields, whatever. I know I like doing portrait sessions outdoors better than indoors.

Pictures of flowers. Ok, so maybe they're over done. But taking pictures of nature - flowers, trees, whatever - can be a refreshing change. They're beautiful, they sit still while you experiment, and they give you a chance to test out some ideas with composition, exposure, and such.

Outdoor sports. It's baseball season, softball season, outdoor track season. Go watch some kids play sports, and take pictures! The outdoors are a lot more forgiving in terms of lighting conditions, so you may be able to do a lot better in the spring than if you were trying to take pictures of sports indoors.
