The FART method is broken down as follows - Feel. Ask. Refine. Take. I'm not going to go any more in-depth here, but I suggest checking out Fart For Fantastic Photos to try to improve your own creative process. Trust me, you do have one!
So....the F stands for 'feel.' Now that I am looking for a picture a day, I often feel like taking a photo, several times a day. That's usually where I stop; I miss the 'ART.' I really love that FART urges you to question what inspired you, and then to work to capture that.
I'm going to start trying to focus on the 'ART' and try not to get lost in the 'F.'
Tonight, on my way into the house for dinner, two of my neighbours stopped me and shouted out 'you should take a picture of the sunset.' I love that even my neighbours are helping me find inspiration for my 365 project. But they were right - the sunset was crazy tonight.
Ironically.....I didn't use ART to take these pictures, but I did try something new. First, I took a few long exposure night-time shots; something I had always been a little too timid to try. Then, I learned how to make an animated gif (see questionably successful results below).
So, get out there, try something new, and be inspired by those around you!
** Note: These pictures were not taken with the intention of creating an animated gif, but when I saw the clouds rolling across the photos, and my dear husband commented that it would make a good blog post, I thought I should follow the external inspiration cues for the day.
