This weeks exercise is about camera exposure control and composing when you intentionally add blacks and / or whites by using exposure as a creative control.

This weeks exercise is learning, practicing and hopefully perfecting panning of moving subjects.  Follow the link to read how.

Multiple Exposures are a great fun technique to learn to do. The open up some creative opportunities. But most importantly they teach you how to plan out a photograph with at least two separate elements (photographs) and even more. If you are not inspired by multiple exposures, use this weeks exercise to practice the processes of planning your compositions before taking your photographs.

This week we are going to think like a film photographer and limit ourselves to 36 photographs for a full week. Our goal is three photographs to share in the comments .

Shooting without the viewfinder is not only fun, but helps you to frame your photographs in your mind.

This weeks exercise is around restricting yourself with a ten second exposure. Personally, I will be exploring some colour abstracts with this restriction at the beach. But there are so many other things you can do with a set exposure length. Are restrictions good for creativity. I think so.

A week with one focal length.  Sounds easy? Staying with it for a full week may be the challenge.  

Do you know which lens is your sharpest lens? Do you know what focal length is its sharpest?

Figure it out and lets use it to see what we can do.

You need to know which shutter speeds you can reliably use. The only way to do this is to work them out.

How well do you know your camera. Can you use it without thinking. Do you intentionally practice. Here is an exercise that makes you practice.
