You\u2019re an amateur photographer. You consider yourself not half-bad. You know what all the buttons on your DSLR or ILC do. You\u2019ve memorized the menu structure. You passionately believe that your chosen camera is better than any other brand of camera. You make sure to take photos every. single. day.<\/em> But something happened \u2014 you look at your photographs and they\u2019re not exciting you. You don\u2019t seem to be getting better. In fact, you\u2019re worried that you\u2019re losing some of your mojo, or that you’ve hit a plateu. What should you do?<\/p>\n

You, my friend, are a prime candidate for one of the most effective techniques to up your performance. What you need to do is to constrain yourself. Hobble your photography and you\u2019ll get better at it. Athletes do this kind of thing all the time \u2013 they practice with weight belts so that when they\u2019re in competition, the event is easier. It\u2019s the same idea here. Practice with a \u201cphotographic weight belt\u201d and you\u2019ll find your shooting will improve.<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas for you. Do each of these for a week, in any order. (Of course, if you have a paying gig don\u2019t compromise on your client\u2019s behalf \u2014 you have to give it your all. But for all your personal shooting, stick to one of these techniques religiously.) The next week, pick another. You\u2019ll find that after you\u2019ve done a few weeks of this you will be a lot happier with your photography.<\/p>\n

Shutter speed:<\/strong> Pick one shutter speed and stick with it for an entire week, regardless of the lens or lighting conditions you have. Make that shutter speed work for you. You can pick a slow one or a fast one \u2013 doesn\u2019t matter, because eventually you\u2019re going to run into trouble and you\u2019ll need to figure out how to make it work for you.<\/p>\n

Lens:<\/strong> Pick one lens and stick with it for the week. Important: It should be a prime lens, not a zoom. I did this once with an ultra wide-angle lens \u2014 it definitely got me out of my comfort zone! But you can do this with any lens, though, again, the key is to stick with it for a week.<\/p>\n

Chimping:<\/strong> Stop chimping for a week! With enough practice you can get a sense of what the picture looks like without looking at the screen. So jumpstart the process. Go into your camera\u2019s settings and set it that it shouldn\u2019t show the last picture taken on the screen. Then, if you still don\u2019t trust yourself not to look, take a piece of gaffer\u2019s tape and tape a piece of cardboard over the screen. You\u2019ll also find that your battery life is extended with this technique!<\/p>\n

No cropping:<\/strong> Use your viewfinder to crop. Zoom with your feet. For this week, Photoshop\u2019s crop tool is off limits. Make it work in the camera or don\u2019t take the shot!<\/p>\n

Black and white:<\/strong> This is a hard one because many of us barely even remember film cameras, we don\u2019t have any concept of what it means to visualize a scene in black and white. But composition and storytelling become much more important in black and white. Set your camera to the black and white preset, and leave it like that for a week. Pay careful attention to all the basic rules of composition, and to the brightness levels of the scene.<\/p>\n

Aperture:<\/strong> Can you stick to one aperture for a week? Try it \u2013 it\u2019s even harder than sticking to one shutter speed! Pick an aperture. It doesn\u2019t have to be an extreme like f\/1.4 or f\/22; you can pick something like f\/8 if you\u2019d like. But stay true to your decision for the entire week. (Note that if you pick, say, f\/2.0, you\u2019ll have made your kit lens off limits \u2013 it probably has a maximum aperture of f\/3.5.)<\/p>\n

Shooting .jpg:<\/strong> This last one is a bit counter to the advice many photographers give: \u201cAlways shoot RAW.\u201d In a perfect world, one can argue, there wouldn\u2019t be the need to shoot RAW because what your mind visualized when taking the shot will be faithfully recreated in the camera as soon as you click the shutter. And, to be clear, I absolutely agree \u2014 you should normally shoot RAW. But if you want to grow a bit, spend a week shooting .jpg only. You won\u2019t have the RAW fallback \u2013 if you\u2019re underexposed or your white balance is off, you have no RAW safety net.<\/p>\n

Try these techniques. They work. One caveat: A week might not be right for you \u2014 if you\u2019re a full-time photography student, three days apiece might be enough. If you\u2019re a weekend warrior, maybe you want to try each technique for a few weekends before you go to the next one. Whatever works for you.<\/p>\n

Lastly, after you\u2019ve done this, evaluate. Is your shooting better than it was before you started this? I\u2019m willing to bet that it will be. Share your masterpiece on Facebook<\/a> and tag me<\/a> \u2013 we’d love to see the results!  <\/p>\n
