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!

影像設計與特殊效果製作最佳參考

影像設計方法與表現形式多元，身為設計師首重概念與想法的演繹，但是缺乏必備的技術也可能導致傳達效果的失敗。想在影像設計與創作方面再精進的人，可參考類似這樣的網站。不過，要再三強調，攝影本身的影像如果會說話，其他的效果就將成為多餘。

設計的皮帶味 鐵鏽味

看到有本書上寫著，有兄弟檔的品酒師，小有名氣。有次的品酒會中，發表了對一桶陳年酒的品嚐意見。弟弟說:這酒是不錯，只是有點皮帶味道。大家吃驚，喝下去後，都不覺得有甚麼皮帶味道。接下來，大家就換問哥哥的品酒意見。哥哥說:不僅有皮帶味道，還帶點鐵鏽味道。大家就更笑了，沒人理會那兩位兄弟。在愉快中，就把那一桶酒給喝完了。結果，在桶底，真的發現了一條皮帶，皮帶上還有個生鏽的鐵環。可能是當時的工人忘記拿出來，或不小心掉進去的。先知有時候、通常是寂寞的，當他品嚐出味道時，大家的感覺器官尚未進化到那地步，無法產生共鳴。因此，他門所知道的，遠超出大家能理解的範圍。因此被大家笑了，孤獨了。在書上看到這則記事，心有慼慼焉。
