Is summer here? Who knows, but if you look at your local paper you will see that what IS here is the season of events. What sort of events? Everything from Highland Games to horse jumping to car rallies to sailing regattas. If you have an interest in photography, each of these occasions provides you with a challenge to take great images that capture the spirit of what is going on. You don't particularly have to like the activity itself, but that is advantage to help your planning. Understanding what is going on certainly improves your chances of getting better images on the day.
I recently attended a local Highland Games and also a vintage agricultural vehicle rally; both interesting in them selves, but it was a good task to in both cases to try and capture a flavour of what was going on. It doesn't really matter if you come back with very few "keepers" as long as you learnt something from the exercise and more importantly - you enjoyed doing it.
This time of year, no matter what part of the world you live in (Northern Hemisphere specifically) there are going to be loads of opportunities to take advantage of. So get out there and try something a bit different, you never know what you will capture.
