Photography podcast #83 is based on a suggestion by Casil403 (Thanks Casil!) from our forum. This podcast describes the exercise of photographing whatever you want with the restriction that it must be 20 steps from your door. This restriction forces you to “see”¯¿½ what you are otherwise too busy to see. It’s an excellent exercise that really gets you to zero in on your sense of sight. Feel free to try this exercise for yourself and post the image somewhere and link to it in the comments for all to see. The photos below are images taken within 20 steps of my own door.

Lovely set Glenn! Glad you liked the exercise!
Marko, just loved this podcast even though it was rather short. Went out myself today after the rain and got a few shots. Posted them on the forum which you can find here: http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f11/20-steps-my-front-door-10362.html
Well done Jason! That’s quite a nice little scene you captured; really dig the lower perspective!
Short but inspiring podcast. I have been in a bit of a photo-block recently so after listening I went outside and took a few photos within 20 steps. This is what I came up with:

Thanks for another great podcast.
Glad your eyes are always open Jackie! Cool shot! Dig the BW!
Cool stuff, Marko. I do not need to be encouraged to photograph stuff within 20 steps of my door, though.
These “mushrooms” were in the back recently.
