A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I am looking for structured assignments which will help me improve my photography. I'm an experienced enthusiast - over 20 years of shooting - but I feel a bit stale recently like I've not learned anything new or looked at anything differently. Is there any assignment you have done which you felt moved the dial for you?

This wasn’t really an assignment but some advice I found was (if you have a zoom lens), look at your metadata and see what focal length you tend to gravitate to. I like more compact setups so after looking at my metadata, I typically shot around 37-45mm. Now I shoot primarily on my 35 and 45mm primes and I think my work is much more congruent.
