Yes, there is no sun in the pictures I posted. This exercise is about shooting sun or moon with other visual elements and to learn how a small element (sun/moon will occupy very tiny little space in the frame when shooting it @ 50mm) can be prominent in an image. It's not about zooming all the way in and shooting the sun/moon close.

Guys, Updated the first post along with the link to skydrive where we can see all the exercise photographs in one place.

It's little over a month...
I resume from where I left. Here is a new exercise...
Exercise: Mirrors
This exercise is intended to enhance the awareness of reflections by taking photographs of objects reflected in mirrors. The goal of the exercise is to show the object in the mirror against a background that gives the image a sense of place.
Google to get some idea and to get inspired... and post your work when you are done.

Exercise: People's Soles
This exercise is intended to enhance the ability to perceive subtle aspects of posture and how they affect a person's appearance (I have understood this but not the depth of it). Probably I get to know the depth as I keep shooting this genre over a period of time.
Goal is to take images of where the soles of feet are visible. Set up can be any where but it's most likely you can find it where there are lots of people walking, standing in a public place like shopping mall, railway station etc.
Auto-focusing can be helpful but little tricky if the environment is too cluttered. So be prepared for this issue.

Exercise: Birds on the ground
This exercise is intended to give us experience at observing and depicting subjects that are constantly changing their position and orientation. Generally we see most of the photographs of birds are close ups. It's better to depicts the surroundings as well for this exercise.
I have been sticking with 50mm (35mm equiv) for all the exercises as the author suggested so. You may need to use different focal length to not to disturb the birds by moving in closer. So you any focal length as you see fit.

In the zone
Will 50 mm serve the purpose? As its very dynamic subject we cannot go much closer and with prime lens we might need lots of cropping.

Exercise: People's Soles
I was really not comfortable shooting in public places. It took me more than 30 minutes to take just two photographs out in public, shooting someone I don't know. There were lot of opportunities, more than I expected. I saw lot of people standing in a way that their sole can be seen to take photograph, just that we have to be in the right place. I thought of stage this exercise with someone I know, but later I thought of give it a try.
