Just a fun (and possibly insightful) topic......Fill in the blank......

I think blank would improve my photography more than anything else.

So lets hear it....what do you think is your biggest stumbling block at the moment? Is it a particular piece of gear, location, vision or something entirely different?

I think going out and shooting more rather than spending time on forums would improve my photography more than anything else.

In a way I'm sort of kidding. There's lots of great information here. Lots of it I take with me when I'm shooting. I really wanted to get out with my 40D and my Sigma 10-20mm today but just didn't have the motivation today. Maybe tomorrow after class I'll do some shooting.

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!

getting a divorce would improve my photography.

Well - if it were something I was willing to do, then I would have done it already.

I think more gear would improve my photography more than anything else.

:p

Seriously? Practice is the only thing I've found that really improves my photography.

Jason, it's vision, creativity, however you want to put it. I.E. seeing the picture possibilities in more mundane objects/scenes. I'm not very good at it.

Time.

While I'm still gainfully employed at my cubicle-jockey desk job, which has nothing to do with photography, I just don't have time to design, set up, shoot, and process all the ideas that are in my head.

Time and the feeling of guilty. As I'm already in a learning period in career I don't have a second to spend on photography, except writing in POTN at the lessons which the teacher doesn't mind us playing with our iPads...

I think an endless supply of attractive bikini models willing to work for free would improve my photography more than anything else.
