Have you ever started taking photographs of your family in the morning and shot throughout the day til bedtime? “A day in the life” coverage can be a whole lot of fun.

Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that unless something special is going on, there’s nothing worth shooting. You don’t need any “special events” to get great pictures.

Just for kicks, try shooting some of the more mundane events of your day and see what happens.

I think you’re in for a surprise. There’s no pressure when you’re just shooting ordinary stuff. Play around, have a little fun. Be loose. Be freewheeling.
