10 Photographic Assignments to Hone Your Skills

The idea was that it is often when you put yourself into a situation specifically for photography that you are forced to practice the theory that you know and you see your photography improve.The assignments I mentioned were all different types of photography or places to take photos – weddings, road trips, sporting events, festivals, portrait sessions, concerts, trips to the zoo etc.What I didn’t mention in the post was another set of ‘assignments’ or challenges that I’ve set myself over the years which have also led to a lot of photographic growth.In these challenges I tend to set myself the challenge to only shoot in one particular way for a period of time (for me it is usually a weekend challenge as that is when i take most of my images).These challenges all relate to your camera and limiting yourself in some way to either switch off some element of the automated aspects of your camera, limiting yourself to really hone a skill or to practice some kind of technique.While this isn’t really a natural way to shoot – I find that focusing in on one particular aspect or skill in photography at a time can really help to see improvements in that period of time which means when you next need that skill you’re all ready to go!

秩序美與渾沌美的對峙

在造形的領域中，常以自然界中的松子、花序、水波等有秩序的形態變化，作為說明美感的例證。從整齊規則性的形體中，感嘆造物者的能量，也從中領受到美的感覺。對美的形式原則，一般是將之歸納為均齊、平衡、規則、反覆、律動、比例、對稱等，同時也會列舉與均其相對立的偶然、隨機、不規則、複雜、變化等原則。兩者並存於造形領域中，當然也同時出現於自然世界裡，是形成美感重要的原則。這兩項原則是處於對立的狀態，並絕不是一線隔開的，是有交流或是並存的。
