We have been cooped up in our houses all winter. Finally the sun is out and the weather is warm. Here is a photo project that is a great way to enjoy the spring weather, get some exercise, and capture some wonderful photos all at the same time. Try challenging yourself by grabbing your camera and taking a mile long walk.

Tips for Your One Mile Photo Challenge

photo walk in a new place for great shots

• take a nice lightweight camera backpack for accessories
• if you have one, pack your macro lens for all the pretty flowers you are sure to run into
• take a route you would not normally take
• look at your everyday surroundings with new eyes

Extra Challenges for Your Photo Walk

• set a limit on how many photos you can take
• Pick one color and photograph things in that color
• if you are in a city area, photograph only signs

You may be surprised by the beauty you discover just one mile away, not to mention happy with some new captures and a broadened photographic eye!
