I recently partook in a PhotoWalk with a really cool twist.
We were only allowed to take a max of 36 pictures
The display was taped so we had no instant feedback
Once the ISO is set, it can't be changed
Try to shoot 100% manual and get your exposures right by yourself
It's taking your digital camera and making it emulate a film camera with 1 roll of film fresh from it's aluminium wrapper.
What's really good about this is that it really make you slow down and think about your picture ... and often walk away when the subject or light isn't right.
It helps boost your creativity and look at a subject from alternate angles prior to taking your picture. Not just that, manually setting your exposures really makes you think about whats in the viewfinder and how you want the picture to look.
So, my challenge to you is to tape up your camera and try it.
Share your experience, what you learned and the images you took.
To put my money where my mouth is .... here's my images: http://www.callumw.com/blog/photowalk-november-2010/
Beyond colour correction, contrast alteration and minor cropping, all results are pretty much from the camera.
