Any of the following projects may be your final project for this semester, whether you did the project already and want to improve, or weren’t assigned a particular project and want to do it anyway.(1)
3 Amigos: Set up a still life using three carefully-selected objects; rearrange for each shot to create new relationships; make/use a frame in the shot to increase awareness of the available space.
Altered Landscape: Do something, introduce something to change an otherwise “found” scene.
Long, Long, Long: 1/4, 1/2, full seconds; the lengthier exposure times may or may not be apparent at first glance.
Minimum Depth-of-Field Cityscapes: Use pretty much wide open apertures in order to direct the viewer’s attention.
Regarding Snow: Anything but Hallmark or facebook-first-snowfall-shot-from-the-front-door.

Simple Portraits: Use the entire frame; the sitter collaborates.(2)
Three (or more) Light Sources: Fill in all shadows, to greater or lesser degrees.
Did I miss anything?
Footnotes:
1. We’re in the Guinness Book now, for using the word “project” the most number of times in a single sentence.
2. I know we did Simple Portraits in two successive incarnations, but it counts as one for our purposes now.
