A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Lately there has been a very bad weather where I am, so there is no color or anything eye catching outside. I really want to take photos but I dont know what. We dont have the money to travel, so I am stuck in the neighbourhood. Any ideas that I can take photos of?

Get into Macro photography - subjects are endless and everything looks so much different at high magnification. All of a sudden it becomes interesting to take a photo of a dollar bill, coins, food, insects, pretty much anything you can think of. Nobody makes a bad macro lens either, so you can find them quite cheap especially on the used market.

Buy a cheap telephoto lens and get into wildlife/bird photography. I don't know where you live but there's got to be some wildlife around. Get an annual pass to your local zoo if that's an option, most of them are very cheap relative to a single visit ticket price.

Get a flash (or several) and set up a home studio for portrait photography or product photography. Again this can be done extremely cheaply with very professional looking results.
