Motivation to take photos
Discussion
Does anyone else struggle with motivation for taking photos? When travelling my camera is almost always in my hand and I love it but when I'm at home it's rare that my camera will leave the bag.
I'd like to start to make more use of my camera whilst not travelling, can anyone recommend any groups/clubs that have a monthly goal that will give me something to work towards please? I've just noticed the PH monthly challenge and I've put something up.

Cheers guys I appreciate your responses and I'm glad it's not just me that struggles with this.
I still take a fair few photos on my iPhone and for what it is it takes really good images and it allows me to practice composition but it's all the other settings that I miss out on. When I get the proper camera out it takes me a while to get to grips with it again, I think some regular practice will help me improve as well as get going when I properly want to use the camera from the get-go. I've never had any training on how to use a camera but I really enjoy taking photos and I'll happily make tweaks in lightroom to them.
Joining a physical camera club is a decent shout, I'll see if I can connect with any local ones to see what they get up to. I don't want to get involved with people that are into pixel peeping to the nth degree or talking about the differences between iso 100 and 200 but if I can find a group that's decent I think it could really help me.
