Have you fallen into a photographic rut? Do you find yourself shooting the same subjects, places, or people over and over? Repeatedly using the same techniques, settings, or angles? It's time to shake things up a bit. Our challenge for you: figure out what well-trodden territory you're still pacing and cross over to the road less traveled. For example, if you always photograph sports, take some still lifes. Trade in people for inanimate objects or vice versa. Or if you only rely on shutter-priority mode, try aperture priority. Always look for the telemacro shot? Switch to wide angle. Then post a comment entry telling us what you decided your box was, the approach you took to think outside it, and provide links to two (please, no more than two) of your best out-of-your-safety-zone photos. We'll discuss the results in our show the week of October 29.
Learn, comment, enjoy.

Don't click on that Photoshop icon quite yet; we're talking about a different type of photo editing. The kind where you selectively edit down a bunch of photos to the few (in this case one) you like. In the second of our experiments and exercises, we ask you to bring your thought processes into the light. In the comments, post links to any set of five related photos--different shots of the same scene--then tell us which one you think is the best, and more importantly, why you think so. Then, look at other people's sets and see if you agree with their decisions. We'll discuss the results in our show the week of September 7.
Learn, comment, enjoy.
