I'm currently working on a video about finding subjects during late winter and early spring. This is usually a time where there are little to no interesting fungi about and not so many bugs about. I'd love to hear about what you tend to shoot around this time of year down in the comments, and how you go about finding those subjects 👇

Sounds like a great topic, especially for us folks in the colder parts of the world.

I struggle too. Even now end of March I'm watching the nettles in anticipation of that special time when they are full of bugs and spiders. To be honest I do mostly landscape and street photography until the creatures appear.

I simply go out and try to just enjoy my walk with no real ideas in mind. I always find things when im not looking for them. When I do look for subjects, I try to look for interesting textures or shapes.

Frost, frozen water droplets when possible, rustic leaves, interesting parts of fallen/standing trees etc,if you keep your mind clear and 👀 open sometimes compositions will catch them

Jamie, when I’m having trouble finding subjects to photograph, especially at this time of year, I go into 'lichen mode' and always find some treasures to shoot. 👋

Usually our Spring is very wet from all the snow over Winter. Unfortunately we have been having less and less snow and right now it's just bone dry outside. Do you think there's still something out there to find? I've traded in my Canon gear to go back to Olympus/OM this week and I still haven't gotten out to shoot. But I really want to get out there. I'd love this video right about now! xD
