Today's photo idea is to take a picture of a waterfall. Waterfalls can make for some truly spectacular photographs. They can also test a photographer's skill as it can be difficult to find the correct camera settings to get the perfect exposure. One thing is for sure though, you'll definitely want to bring along a tripod when photographing waterfalls.

Today's photo idea is street signs. This includes everything from the signs with the name of the street to traffic signs such as stop signs and yield signs. You could take a picture of the sign of the street where you live. Or maybe there is a famous intersection in your city, like Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. Or perhaps you could do a collage of different street signs. Or a collage of stop signs in various countries/languages. The possibilities are endless.

Footprints in the Sand

Today's photo idea is footprints in the sand. You could use human footprints or dog paw prints. This shot can work well on sand dunes or on the beach. If you don't happen to be near any sand, you could take footprints in the mud or, better yet, in the snow.

Footprints are a good way to capture an image of a journey or long distances. It can also provide a good sense of scale if, for example, you juxtaposition an adult's footprint next to a small child's print. If you have any more footprint related photo ideas, leave them in the comments!

Today is Valentine's Day so love is in the air. V-Day usually brings to mind images of romantic candle-lit dinners, flowers, chocolate, and candy. Today's photo idea is to take a picture of Valentine's Day candy.

There are many types of Valentine's Day candy to choose from. One option is the traditional, big, red, heart-shaped box of chocolates. Sweethearts are another popular choice that can make for a cute picture. Try scattering them around haphazardly or artfully arranging them into a shape like a heart. For the more ambitious, you could try to Photoshop in your own personal messages on the candy.
