A Motivating Summer Filled with Photography Tasks
In the peak photography season of the northern hemisphere, the book 100 Creative Photography Assignments offers a series of summer-specific exercises to inspire creativity and exploration. Here are some of the top assignments suggested for summer photography:
- Shooting reflections: Capture the mirror-like quality of water or smooth surfaces to create intriguing images.
- Capturing shadows: Explore the play of light and dark by photographing long, dramatic shadows cast by objects or structures.
- Exploring patterns in nature: Look for repeating patterns in the natural world, such as leaves, flowers, or rock formations.
- Photographing textures: Focus on old buildings with interesting textures and colours, adding depth and character to your images.
- Using sunlight creatively: Experiment with the golden hour, when the sun is low in the sky, to add mood and warm colours to your photos. A cloudy day is even better than a sunny one for lower contrast.
- Close-up or macro nature shots: Get up close and personal with flowers, insects, or other small details in nature to create striking images.
- Motion blur with water or wind: Use slow shutter speeds to capture the movement of water or wind, creating a sense of energy and dynamism.
- Night photography: Experiment with long exposures and low light to capture the unique atmosphere of summer nights.
- Portraits with summer backgrounds: Capture the essence of summer by setting your subjects against vibrant, summery backdrops.
- Abstract compositions based on summer themes: Look for abstract patterns or shapes that represent the summer season, such as waves, sand, or sunsets.
These assignments reflect typical creative exercises in the book, designed to challenge photographers to see ordinary summer scenes in compelling ways under various conditions. For the exact assignment descriptions and detailed prompts, the original book would provide comprehensive guidance.
