Outdoor Photo Prompt ~ Favorite Outdoor Places…

January 11, 2011 By 67 Comments

Ok, so this morning I was experiencing a mind blank. An idea meltdown. Or more specifically, I tweeted my brain issue on Twitter as such, “My OBN Brain is currently a sizzled overdone egg ~ So help me out fellow Outdoor Bloggers, I need photo prompt ideas…” I chirped and the Twitter crowd responded, so now I’ve got a nest full of new ideas (feel free to leave additional photo topics in the comments below for future prompts) to offer up on the OBN.

A River in Montana

For this photo prompt I picked twitter Nate’s suggestion (who writes the blog Fishing in Pa) he tweeted, “Favorite Outdoor Place (landscapes!)”

When I read his suggestion I instantly thought I’d give anything to be standing in a river in Montana. Any non-frozen river would do. 80 degree temps would be a bonus…

So let’s see it in photography, show us your favorite Outdoor Place. Where is the one place you’d trade all your leftover Christmas candy canes to go visit for a day? Is there a story behind your favorite place? Feel free to write about it in your post as well.

After you post your favorite Outdoor Place picture, be sure to come back here and leave your blog post link in the comment section below so we can see it too.

By the way, is it to early to start itching for Spring?

    Poe Paddy State Park fishing Penn’s Creek! That shot is actually Poe Paddy Run, but it makes it’s way into Penn’s right after that :)

    I was itching for Spring a month ago. Only a brand new Frabill Tip-up Combo and some time on the ice cured that. Need to get out again…

      My Cabin fever, jitters, and twitches have set in….I fear I’ll never make it until Spring and for some reason, Ice fishing just doesn’t sound like a cure (for me)

    Great idea! – and hey – no way it’s too early for cabin fever! I’ve had it for months with no ill-effects! ( ha! )
    I’m wanting to keep the rod kit contest Center State on FFSBR, so I put the writing prompt on OMG It’s Fly Tying!…and here it is now:

    Great idea for a prompt, how about a nice mountain scene of one of our favorite classic New Hampshire places.. The Franconia Ridge!

      Hey, hey now. I’m not sure I want to see any natural moments from folks like Howard or Mike. Or you. Wait – When you say natural moments…you know, I’m not even going to ask. ;)

    Owl, just for clarification, when I suggested “amazing natural moments” earlier, I wasn’t referring to any natural bodily functions.

    Now that we’ve cleared that up, here’s my favorite fishin’ holes:

    And, I don’t want to see any “natural moments” from anyone! lol… My idea for a prompt is this…”Where my outdoor passion started”. Was it from a family member or a friend teaching you, reading about it, taking a class or something else? And how did it evolve from there. There you go.

    An Idea for another prompt…
    Weather it be hunting, fishing, camping or dog walking…”Do you consider yourself” New aged or old school and why?

    Okay, I got a little carried away. But my Favorite Outdoor Place is a whole mid-sized river and most of the creeks that feed into it. I tried to pick a couple of photos, but that didn’t work out very well.

    [...] OBN decided that instead of having a cabin-fever melt-down, they’d run a new photo prompt! They wanna see a landscape photo of your favorite Outdoor Place. I’m going to have to scour the archives and dig up a photo of my favorite trout stream. Oh wait. I just remembered I took a photo of it last fall. Hey, that was pretty easy! It’s Bradley’s Fork in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. And, as a bonus I’m going to throw in a few more photos of the area. But if I had one day to fish in a whole year, I’d want to spend it on Bradley’s Fork. Probably in the late spring, with a fly rod in one hand and a camera around my neck. [...]
