The all new Parrot Shot Reference Guide
The hunt for inspiration is equally exhilarating as it is daunting sometimes. On the one hand, our community is brimming with incredible creators putting out amazing work every single day. But on the other hand, there's just so much content that it's nearly impossible to consume it all, let alone index it.
So let's say you've just caught up on your favorite shot recipes and are ready to get your hands dirty. Before firing up the camera, it's natural to want to gather some inspiration to get those creative juices flowing. Where do you look? How do you narrow it down to something specific? Do you just scroll endlessly through your home feed or saved posts and hope something catches your eye?
