Just wondering if their are sort of like "practice" photography one could do.
Something at someone could do at home or indoors? I just thought people might have pointers. Like take a tin can and try different angles and lighting. Sort of to train your brain into seeing things. |

i have been doing my own "praticing" at home on homemade "studio" shots. i have been going back in challenge archives (of course following the edit rule for that challenge)and trying my hand at some of the techniques...so far ive done my version of jewelry, macro and advertisement. not too bad i dont think but im sure someone could make a suggestion on how to make it better.

Buy the book "Learning to See Creatively" by Bryan Peterson. I think I have convinced a few people into buying that book on here, it does a good job with what you want. It gives you exercises and explains everything quite clear.

Thanks...I bought a book yesterday..seems a little outdated but not much. It is KISS Guide to Photograpgy by John Garrett. Pretty straight forward for most cameras digital or not. |

The book I speak of has a new edition each year, and with it includes new technologies for both Film and Digital. Take that dated book back, trust me!

My grandfather taught me a method when I was just starting out photography (which I will humbly say really wasn't all that long ago :-p). He said to go outside to a spot in a park or an open space. Then you draw a circle around yourself with about a 5-10 foot radius. Then, you have to shoot an entire roll of film without leaving the circle... This really forces you to look for details and I find it to be a great exercise that I still use.

Find something or somewhere or someone you can shoot regularly. Try to get different light, different angles, different dof, do it on different days, different seasons.
Work out what works, what doesn't ....
