Many of us fall victim to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcparalysis by analysis<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u201d we think too much before making a picture. We become too nervous to hit the shutter, and because we are such perfectionists, we never end up taking any pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the assignment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In one day, you must shoot at least 1,000 photographs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Just shoot in JPEG<\/a> for simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to force yourself to try to make \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 pictures. That is not the purpose. The purpose is for you to relax your trigger figure, and for you to learn to better \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwork the scene<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and take multiple shots of the same scene to make one good picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work the scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
