This week I thought I'd do a bit of a technical challenge to see how well we know our cameras, and what we can learn from doing something a little bit different.
The Challenge:
Shooting Blind
The subject matter is completely up to you, but you are only allowed 10 shots. For 5 of those shots you can look through your view finder. For the other 5 resist the urge and shoot them without the use of your viewfinder or screen. Sometimes when a photographer is working a unique location it can be hard to get the shot you want because you're eyeball can't go where the camera can. This is an exercise to help you learn how the camera can be an extension of your eyes.
Submit your favorite photo from each set of 5.
Have fun!

I'll get around to shooting something, but I have to say that I needed to do this very thing this last week! I was on a field trip with my students and we were in a very tiny teepee. I was unable to move around the teepee and needed to frame up my shot blindly. I'm not posting those pics because they are my students and I don't think parents would approve, but it made me aware of what a great skill this is. I can't wait to do it!
