I am looking for structured assignments which will help me improve my photography. I’m an experienced enthusiast - over 20 years of shooting - but I feel a bit stale recently like I’ve not learned anything new or looked at anything differently. Is there any assignment you have done which you felt moved the dial for you?
My first teacher he made me spend a whole day photographing an egg, watching where the natural light fell throughout the course of the day. It was so slow and so tedious but by the end of the day I understood the purpose of the lesson. Now I find myself looking for where the light is on objects just throughout my day just to see where the light falls, when and how it changes. It helped me a lot in learning the nature of light and how it interacts with things.
