Recreate a Classic
Choose one famous photograph. Go to the same type of location. Make as close a version as you can with the equipment and access you have.
This is not about copying. It is about understanding. When you try to recreate Cartier-Bresson's 'Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare', you learn that the timing was not accidental — it required being in exactly the right position, at exactly the right moment, with the camera already raised. When you try to recreate a William Eggleston colour photograph, you learn that his colour relationships are far more deliberate than they appear.
Match the original as closely as your equipment allows. Focal length, aperture, and time of day matter.
