Maintaining Motivation & Recharge

Official dgivens

When times are tough, it can often seem as though maintaining motivation is an uphill battle. In times of personal struggle or difficult circumstances at work or in school, it is easy to feel discouraged and overwhelmed. The key to motivation is to remember that it is an active, not passive feeling – one that must be practiced and nurtured.

In order to boost your motivation during challenging times, it may be beneficial to break large tasks down into smaller, more manageable ones. Focusing on progress instead of feeling overwhelmed by a long list of things to do can help you stay motivated to accomplish your goals. Aside from that, try to keep your eyes on the big picture and the long-term goals you intend to achieve. You should not lose sight of the fact that setbacks are part of the process, and that with hard work and determination, you will be able to overcome them.

Last but not least, do not forget to take care of yourself both physically and mentally, by getting enough rest, eating well and taking the time to recharge so that you can enjoy your life to the fullest.

Have a blessed day

Nature in photography

Official dgivens

My favorite type of photography is nature photography. In my experience, it brings me a sense of peace and tranquility. Please find below some information about nature photography and why you should grab your camera or phone and go outside and take some beautiful images of nature.

A unique form of art, nature photography captures the beauty and wonder of nature. What better way to express our deep connection to nature than by photographing it? A fascinating world of nature photography can provide us with information, inspiration, and connection to the world around us.

Photographs of nature help us understand the natural world. By using a camera, we can observe nature’s details we might otherwise miss. Our eyes can see intricate leaf patterns, delicate flower structures, and grand landscapes that might be elusive in person. Additionally, photographers can use their images to promote conservation efforts and educate others about environmental issues.

Photographing nature is a great way to connect with our environment. In turn, it fosters an appreciation and reverence for the natural world. Nature’s essence captured in a photograph reminds us of our connection to the world around us and our responsibility to protect it.

Last but not least, nature photography can connect us with others who appreciate nature. As social media grows, it’s easier than ever for us to share our images with a global audience. A sense of community can be formed through nature photography, inspiring us to work together to protect our planet.

In conclusion, nature photography informs, inspires, and connects us with nature. As a result, we become more aware of the beauty in our surroundings. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional, there’s no better way to connect with nature than through a camera.

Have a blessed day

Photography is it

Official dgivens

If you love photography, a career in the photography business may be right for you and your life right now. Photography can be divided into three categories, such as general, commercial, and advertising. People tend to venture into areas that interest them and sometimes it is just general photography. Getting some formal training in photography will enable you to achieve a lot of success in commercial or advertising photography. Even if you have some experience taking pictures, you may be ready to learn something new when you attend classes or training programs. You will be able to focus on the business end of the field in many of the courses you take. Depending on your preferences, you can join an existing company or start your own. The photography market will also allow you to find your niche.

The most common type of general photographer is one who owns their own business and works from home. Most photographers in the general photography field do not rely on the job as their sole source of income, and they do not maintain a storefront. Weddings, senior portraits, and family pictures are some of the things that general photographers shoot. In general photography, you can do some freelance work. There will be opportunities to do freelance work for mostly commercial businesses. However, the majority of your time will be spent building relationships with people in the community and clients.

Photographers who work for commercial companies specialize in a different field. Commercial photographers work for companies instead of the community. Photographs can be taken for catalogues, newspapers, architectural firms, and other corporations. They may be employees of the company or freelance photographers who are hired on a contract basis. Freelancers generally have more flexible schedules, but cannot rely on a steady paycheck like staff photographers. Most commercial photographers specialize in a specific area, such as food or exterior architecture.

Advertising photographers are beneficial to advertisers. When they do break into this field, they can get high rates of exposure, but they will also have a hard time breaking into it. Their names will appear in magazines, TV shows, and even billboards. There is a possibility that they will also be featured on other media channels. Advertising is one of the hardest fields to break into. To achieve success, you’ll need to learn how to climb the corporate ladder. You have to be prepared to dedicate a lot of time and energy before you start your career as a professional photographer.

Is self promoting for you?

Official dgivens

Self-promotion is similar to spreading the word by any other means but with an artistic approach. If the artistic part were taken out of the equation advertising would look more like barging rather than self-promotion. There are many steps involved in this process. The first step is to collect and create useful content relating to the topic, which is not an easy job.

Later I will give you some additional details.

The start of the season

The start of ski season. Sun setting on a cold winter day here in Virginia. We got around 12 inches of fresh powder so it was a great day to hit the slopes. As cold as it was still a beautiful setting. Enjoy

Park Pond

This was taken in the historic downtown Staunton Va. This is the largest park in Staunton and has one of the prettiest ponds. This is a great park for a Sunday walk. This particular day was very cold but still beautiful. I’m sure I will have other photos from this beautiful location. Stay blessed

9th Hole

This is such a great view of the 9th hole on Shamokin. This is my favorite hole on Shamokin. It was a beautiful day on the course but very cold. The wind made it a little tough to stay in the fairway. But all in all, it was a great day on the course.

My Favorite Tree

For some reason, this is my favorite tree on the golf course. I always try to get a photo of it. It’s also tough to shoot over. It’s placed just close enough to the fairway to be in your way off the tee.
