The best way to learn photography is to challenge yourself

I wanted to get better acquainted with my Sigma 105mm macro lens so I decided to participate in Dyxum.com - April Foolishness II : the challenge is to use ONE prime lens for the whole month. You can set your own additional personal challenges, for instance I included a "bolt on" requirement that all my shots should have a feeling of "warmth" to them or have "bold colors".

So what can you learn from it?
From participating on two previous one prime challenges with a 50mm and 24mm lenses the most important thing come away with is knowing the strengths and weakness of your gear.
Another important thing is you train you eye/brain to see the world as it would appear if you are looking through the lens.

So here are the best 3 from Day 1 - can you guess which theme?
