When I was taking photography lessons,  our instructor would always stress the importance of going out to implement what we learned.  A great way to enhance  your photography skills and your creativity is to give yourself assignments –  something  to focus on.   Sometimes  you venture out without having any  idea what you are going to shoot. However,  it is better to decide before what your daily assignment would be.  This way you will be more aware of what you are looking for and will be focus on that. Create a variety of themes by choosing a different assignment each time, for example, one day shoot  ‘patterns’,  another day ‘color’ etc.

Themes of the assignments can be:

• repeating patterns
• lines, shapes, colors
• moving objects
• reflection
• shadows
• silhouettes
• texture
• rule of third
• depth of field
• angle and much more

These kind of assignments will help you boost your creativity, improve your composition and  your photography skills.
