Photo Freedom Giveaway.

Taking good photos indoors in gymnasiums and auditoriums.

I feel my biggest problem is deciding what ones to scrap and what ones to either throw out, give away or put in a photo album. I need to narrow down which ones I use on layouts and as you suggested try to tell the story behind the photo's.
I just love your work and blog...
Thanks....

I am paralyzed my sheer quantity of photos I have to deal with-my kids are in the late teens and I just don't know where to begin-as a result I have only completed about a dozen pages-the photos are in boxes here and there-they were in order at one time until one of the kids dropped a box and the photos went everywhere. I need an intervention.

1. taking photos from different perspectives.
2. doing something with the photos after they get downloaded onto my computer.
3. taking way too many photos and them keeping them ALL

My biggest struggle is definitely not having my dream camera to take the photos that I know I can take. You know?!?

One of my biggest photo struggles is that they're still on the pc! I have so many pictures that I get overwhelmed with what to do with them. I'd love to print them all out. But I'd also love to scrapbook at least most of them. But the amount of photos sometimes makes it hard to begin.

my biggest struggle... trying to have good photos with my digi-camera! I don't like using flash and so most of my pics are blurred... sometimes I use them as well :)!
sorry for my English :)

(I read you every day, even if I don't leave comments... another big struggle...)

I'd say my biggest struggle is stepping out of my comfort zone and actually shooting in manual.

Struggle? A losing battle is what I currently have, I am in the midst of a massive clearout and reorganization, and it is starting to overwhelm me, to the point that I belive that subconsciously I have stopped taking photos to ease this war I feel I am losing. On a die bar, I really must get back and read my camera manual(just a point and shoot) so that I can take better pictures and learn to master the Flash! Thanks for your great blog Ali, Ruth.

I take so many pictures I have a hard time keeping a system.

My biggest photo struggle - getting really good pictures of both kids smiling and happy at the same time. I'm too anal that it has to be a posed picture, and not just a general, happy one!

My 2 biggest problems are deciding what is the best shot to take and arranging them for storage on the computer/CD.

Just too many photos and I did not start organizing until 5 years after my kids were born...I'm getting there!

Biggest Photo Struggle: joining the 21st century photo technology. I still use a film point and shoot camera (cheap) - and when that doesn't work, I use a disposable camera. So I don't get the beautiful shots so many others are able to get. I am avoiding the move to a more "complex" camera - I don't always understand the instructions in the instruction manual - filled with terminology I don't understand, so I am reluctant to try something new.
Thanks,

my biggest struggle would be deciding of the many photos I take,which photos tell the story and which ones I can get rid of, and getting rid of them.

My biggest photo-struggle... I have many! I want them organized, I want them printed, I want them scrapbooked, I want them to be good. Also, the shots never turn out as good as I want them to be, as I picture them in my head...

I am having the.hardest.time figuring out the focus on my new 50mm lens. Sometimes it is dead on and others the whole shot is completely blurry and out of focus. Very Very Frustrating. But I'll keep at it!

My biggest struggle is backing them up right after I download them. I lost too many pictures by not doing this. I am trying to get into a habit of not deleting them off the memory card until I have them backed up.

Hi Ali!
lots of photo boxes of unorganized photos. lots of photos still on computer because if I print them out they will just sit in unorganized photo boxes. pick me please ;)

My biggest photo struggle:
I print out my fav digi pics at Costco, the ones I want to use to 'tell a story' but I don't scrap as fast as I have photos printed, and I have tons, literally tons of printed digi photos laying around and not put anywhere or organized. They are taking over my scrap space...........help!

My biggest struggle is I have a ton of pictures, organized, but too many that I print out. When I go to scrapbook them I only do the have to's even though sometimes the other pictures are much better. Wendy

Ugh-- volume for sure. I take so many pictures, and then I have a hard time reconnecting with them when I get around to finally working with them.

I cannot seem to take good pictures inside at all. No matter where I take them they always look bad, either too dark, too light, etc. So then I struggle to scrapbook them because they aren't perfect and I feel like I should be spending time scrapbooking the perfect pictures.

Easy one. It is definately the stack of old photos that I printed with the intention of scrapping, but somehow I never get the inspiration to use them on a page. I really need this book.

My biggest struggle? Taking those *natural* shots. My pics either look posed, or I totally miss the expressions I'm going for. grrrr
