To celebrate Stacy's new book Photo Freedom, I have one here to give away. Leave a comment below + tell me your biggest photo struggle. Comments will be open until Thursday at 8pm Pacific.
My biggest problem with photos is overall organization especially for my older negatives and CD's. I can never seem to find them when I need them. When taking photos, my first place of opportunity when taking photos is lighting. I got a great external flash for Christmas and I still haven't figured it out!

My biggest issue?? WHERE TO START??? I have both film and digital pics that desperately need some sort of organization system so that I can scrap them. I really hate the way my EHD is beginning to look and think I have duplicates of lots of my digital pics. How in the world do you organize that?
My biggest struggle is knowing how much I shoot now, and I am a single gal w/ no kids. What am I going to do when I am married with children?? Sometimes I start freaking out when I think about it!
My biggest struggle, like so many of the other comments, is the the fact that my poor computer is drowning in photos. Because I have a hard time in deleting photos even if they aren't great ones, I don't find myself wanting to send all those ones away to be printed off. Then I end up not sending the good ones either. And now, with so many, the cost of printing all my pictures to actually put them into albums would be atrocious.
As far as taking pictures, my biggest struggle is finding the right light. I hate how my outdoor snow pictures turn blue and my indoor pictures turn a yellowish cast. There's something I'm missing.
My photo problems are that I have too many sports shots that are too far away and finding the one photo that I am looking for. I spend too much time photo editing-cropping and "fixing" things.
I need a better photo storing system! I have photos in boxes in the master bedroom closet, the spare bedroom closet, my craftroom and stuck in various drawers. Many still in the envelope from the developer. I'll never scrap them all so how do I wade through them, decide what to scrap and store the rest for easy viewing?
And that's my pre-digital life!! I have files and files of photos stored on my computer. My husband points out the amount of space these files take up on the hard drive.
So help with a workable solution would be great!
Thanks Ali for the chance a solving my problems! ~Cindy~
Ooh, great question! My biggest problem is definitely organization. Now that we've gone completely digital, there are thousands of pics on our computer and it's very time consuming to search for "that one." Not to mention printing out the ones that I really want!
My biggest struggle is learning to take nice pictures on my new digital camera. Believe it or not - I just made the switch to digital and I'm trying hard to learn how to get great pictures instead of the stack of mediocre ones. Thanks Ali for giving away the book!
My biggest struggle is my not making myself learn to put my pictures on the computer and use photoshop or whatever to improve my photos. I don't know how to do it and scared to learn.
My greatest struggle is organizing my old non-digital photos & digital photos. To date, I've over 2000pcs of non digital photos & over 10000 of digital photos. I have difficulty to sort them out and every time I wanted to scrap, I ended up spending long hours going through the photos stash or digital photos file to select the "one" to scrap. And my greatest worry for the non digital photos, how to keep a soft copy to preserve the colours & photo quality as I realised some of them has faded through the years...
I just can never get my photos organized in a way that helps me scrapbook. I try one way (like by topic), but then I am hunting for them when I need something for a certain date or event.
My biggest problem .. convincing my husband that the flash does not have to be on for all pictures; natural lighting is good too. Now I just need to take a class on how to use it in manual format so that natural lighting is great!
My biggest photo challenge is getting them OFF my computer. I have thousands of pictures on my HD and on CD's, but very few tangible photos. Thanks for giving away the book! :)
My biggest struggle is candid shots. My pictures always look rigid and posed; planned down to the last detail. I really like all the personality that candid shots have but I always tend to overthink my photos- so they end up looking anything but like a randomly captured moment. And because I spend so much time overthinking the photo itself, I often forget to make note of the who, what, when, and where to use with the photo later for scrapbooking.
I guess I struggle with two issues...
Getting rid of extra photos. I am afraid I might want them later for something. I know that I will forget they are there and probably not ever use them.
I also struggle with deciding what size to print my photos in. I don't want to just print in 4x6. I would love to print larger or smaller photos but don't know how to organize myself or find the potential in a photo to print.
I struggle with a real understanding of the features on my camera. I am taking the weekly photo course at Two Peas to assist me, Hoping this will help.
I am good about picking and scrapping the best photos, but it kills me to get rid of the 'not so good' ones. I have folder after folder on my computer with all the digital photos that I take. I have a fear that as soon as I get rid of some, I will need or want one of the pics for something. HELP!!!

My biggest trouble is backup storage, picking the right picture for the page, and getting as many on the page as I can. You helped me some at CKU with the big square punch (love it), but I am looking for more variety. Plus getting all of those pics printed and off of the computer is a challenge also! The family call me the paparazzi! I take A LOT of pics! :)

Biggest struggle - getting them off my computer. That and getting my five year old to stand still long enough to take a photo in the first place!

Getting the lighting right when I use my point and shoot. Its too unsteady to use without the flash, but most of the time the flash is too bright.
