Every nature photographer experiences burnout days. Days we want to quit. Today was that day for me, and I felt like quitting this beautiful hobby. I had to force myself to come out, and I'm glad I did. Today, I want to share with you the struggles of my inner self as a nature photographer and remind you we are all the same and share tips to help you along your own journey as a nature and wildlife photographer. Finding joy is the goal, and i hope I can inspire you today. Be blessed and happy shooting.

Kevin Kevin Kevin. I'm telling you, watching your videos is like sitting with a friend at the end of a day sharing our experiences. I just drove 1000 miles to the southeastern corner of Arizona to spend a week hanging out in nature photographing birds. Of all the birds I have seen so far I only have one picture I really like. I have never seen this type of bird before so very happy to get a photo. Two Black bellied whistling ducks standing together on a rock in the middle of a pond. The last type of bird I thought I would see in the desert in July. Anyway thanks for another great video. Joe

@@Straightline_racing wow thays awesome Joe! Crazy how things work out. I feel that way often because all I shoot are waterfowl and eagles, or common birds it seems as they are my local wildlife lol. But it's the joy of being in nature that makes sense to us. I'm glad m yvideo's can bring a little peace and joy in your home brother. Happy shooting 📷

Amen. Nature is medicine. I like being out in Nature and don’t like the processing side so much, as I sit in front of a computer for work. Recently I try to take less photos when I’m out. I look for the “ shot of the day”. If the birds aren’t out, I may turn to bees and butterflies. Even spiders and bugs. I try to find a way to take a great picture of a common subject when things are slow. You live in migration heaven! It must feel very slow there now!

Several years ago I put away the camera and was done with photography for good. It really had very little to do with photography itself, but a lot of little things everywhere. I don't know how long this lasted, but it was a few months at least. I finally took the camera out to shoot some photos of my daughters for a mothers day present to my wife. I think she was more excited about my return to photography than I was. Haven't put the camera away in the same manner since, but I definitely get moments that I feel like I'm ready to do so. It's usually the times when I haven't been able to get out like I really want to, but as soon as I get out with the camera, I'm cured. Keep living the dream.

I totally relate. There are waves that come and go where I feel uninspired. But when I force myself to go, I am glad I did. Not so much for the photography, but being out in nature, and if I get a shot, then that's a bonus. Alot of the stress of life weighs us down but I've been forgetting lately to go back to my why. When I do that, I'm filled with joy again. Thanks for watching.

Retired, I typically go out each morning before sunrise, before dawn and that is the best time of day....even if I don't take one photo!

I also had some time off wildlife, because in my local area waterbirds disappeared for whole spring and appeared just recently. And now I started to enjoy the hobby again. Anyway it is hard to not get bored if you do something everyday. Thanks for the videos man :)

The problem is when you do something and try to make a living out of it , in contrast to doing it as an amateur, doing it for the love of it

Come to the UK, it is July and rain is forecast for the whole month. Or go to Donana in Spain, an internationally important wetland, now dry because farmers have sucked out all the water, or Malaga province where a 3yr drought has all but eliminated the wildlife. Scotland is better if you are not eaten by midges. If you combine that with ill health, photography won't be the only thing you give up.
