Five Ways to Kick-Start your Photography
Today 35 members of our photo group met in Balboa Park for a shoot with the following limitations:

1. Fixed focal length - Either use a prime lens (preferably 50mm) or use a zoom lens at one end of the zoom.
2. 1 Roll Rule - Compose each shot carefully, thinking out the composition, subject, focal point, perspective, framing, background, etc.
3. No Live Preview or Review - Everything should be composed through the viewfinder. Do not review your images until after the photo shoot.
4. Manual focus - Use manual focus only.
5. One aperture - Use one aperture only. We have a tendency to shoot with lenses open too often. Try to limit yourself to f/5.6, f/8 or f/11.
Plus we have added this to the original five: 6. Tripod - Take all images using a tripod.
