As some of you know I currently run a workshop in St Lucia. I've been trying to think up some new assignments for the students as we sometimes have a mix of novice through to advanced photographers. The course is oriented towards outdoor nature photography. So far I have had students go off on mini-assignments to demonstrate camera control through aperture, shutter speed etc, a mini essay on St Lucia itself and a treasure hunt of techniques (demonstrate panning, rear-sync flash, DoF etc, etc.)Do any of you have suggestions for assignments? My biggest problem is with the more advanced photographers who get bored of demonstrating, let's say aperture and DoF. Paul, what sort of assignments do you give your students (if you don't mind my asking). Mandy, what kind of stuff would you like to see in a course?
Thanks in advance for any feedback. Cheers

Well if they know all that other stuff, then what about setting a target or reinacting famous photo's or photographer's styles? Setting them a challenge that requires them to use the skills they already know. The beginners will be learning the skills and merely practising them.
That's a cool idea, thanks Mandy :)
